THYROID SHIELDS
Thyroid radiation protection shields
The thyroid shield complements the protection provided by an apron or chasuble by covering the neck area, which is particularly sensitive to ionising radiation.
The thyroid is among the most radiosensitive organs in the human body, making its protection essential for professionals regularly exposed to X-rays, particularly in interventional cardiology and radiology. Our thyroid shields are made in France, compliant with EN 61331-3, and designed to be worn alone or combined with an apron, chasuble or jacket-and-skirt set. Ergonomic and easy to maintain, they adapt to the desired neck size and fastening system, with several lead equivalences available depending on intended use.
How do I choose the right size of thyroid shield?
The thyroid shield must properly cover the thyroid area without restricting movement. The choice depends on neck size, the fastening system and intended use.
Is the thyroid shield compatible with an apron or chasuble?
Yes. It complements the protection provided by an apron, chasuble or jacket-and-skirt set and can be worn at the same time.
