The Guardian Radiation Collar Thyroid Shield by Z&Z Medical is an essential protective gear that provides the ultimate protection for the patient's thyroid and neck region during x-rays and imaging procedures. Its design ensures that it does not limit movement or become uncomfortably obstructive, offering comfort and flexibility during use.
This innovative collar covers the entire thyroid and can be used alongside a lead apron to provide comprehensive coverage for patients from the neck downward, effectively shielding the sensitive neck and thyroid region from scatter radiation. By doing so, it significantly reduces the patient's risk for thyroid cancer or damage, enhancing overall safety and well-being.
The collar comes in three sizes and can be easily adjusted to fit most patients' necks. Its back closure features sewn-in, super durable Velcro straps, allowing for a secure and comfortable fit without being too tight or restrictive. The consistent bib length on each side ensures sufficient protection for the thyroid, adding to the overall effectiveness of the shield.
Customers have the option to choose from a variety of colors, including red, blue, green, purple, or black, each featuring simple back closures and binding. Additionally, the collar is available in both lead and lead-free options, both of which provide 0.5mm Lead Equivalency Protection, ensuring maximum patient safety and harm reduction during imaging procedures.
As a testament to quality and reliability, all Z&Z Medical garments, including the Guardian Radiation Collar Thyroid Shield, are proudly manufactured in the United States, adhering to stringent standards and regulations to guarantee exceptional performance and patient care.
