Designed with the patient in mind
Smart by design
Each shield is designed for single patient use. The shields are fully encased in satin for quick and easy cleaning. Extend the life of each shield for repeated use on the same newborn by wiping with alcohol between X-rays.
Comfortable by design
The small, lightweight design and soft satin cover of each shield provides comfort for a newborn’s fragile skin. The unique heart shape makes placement easy. The shield points downward for females and upward for males.

Safe by design
Shields are composed of 1 mm thick lead to protect reproductive organs from radiation. Each shield helps clinicians comply with JCAHO and FDA patient radiation safety standards. This product is DEHP and BPA-free and is not made with natural rubber latex.
