Thyroid Shields

As an industry leader in the online radiation protection market, Attenutech strives to provide customers with top-of-the-line radiation gear. One of the most important pieces of radiation protection equipment for both men and women is the thyroid shield. It protects both men and women exposed to x-rays. A lead thyroid shield or thyroid guard is a lead collar. It fastens around the wearer’s neck and prevents radiation generated by x-rays from harming the patient during imaging. The thyroid shield acts as a barrier against the rays and should be fitted securely in order to prevent radiation exposure. Attenutech believes that the thyroid collar should be high quality, well fitting, and ultra-protective.

Wearing a protective thyroid shield cover can help to prevent the harmful effects of scatter radiation. As defined by the National Cancer Institute, scatter radiation is secondary radiation that spreads in different directions from a beam when that beam interacts with any substance, such as body tissue, a wall, or a table. Whether you are looking for leaded or lead-free collars to protect your patients, Attenutech is your number one online resource.

Attenutech is proud to offer a collection of products specially curated to minimize increased x-ray exposure risks for patients and medical personnel. Doctors and patient techs across all medical segments trust Attenutech to provide high quality thyroid shields that are secure and comfortable, protecting your thyroid gland. As patients often need to wear this protection for long periods of time, it is imperative that they are comfortable. This is because there are multiple common thyroid conditions that can have potentially devastating impacts on a patient’s health.

Your thyroid is an important gland in your boy that is responsible for the hormones that control your metabolism. In fact, the thyroid is one of the most radiation-sensitive organs in the head and neck. This is why wearing radiation protection is your first line of defense against harmful scatter radiation. Studies have shown that arming yourself with this protection can reduce radiation exposure as much as 45 percent. Therefore, lead thyroid collars are made to prevent harmful exposure to this sensitive gland.

Additionally, Attenutech recognizes how important equipment care and safety is for maintaining the longevity of your radiation wearables. This is why they also supply a line of radiation garment storage options. Utilizing this equipment helps extend the life of your radiation protective equipment extensively. Additionally, Attenutech also offers 10 packs of disposable thyroid covers. These covers keep your thyroid shields clean and safe from dust and dirt. Also, they are excellent for maintaining sanitary equipment to prevent the spread of germs and illnesses for all patients and care providers alike.
