The Pro-Tec™ PET Syringe Shield reduces hand exposure from syringes containing 511 keV radionuclides. The barrel of the shield is constructed of .34″ thick tungsten that attenuates FDG F-18 by 88%. The syringe shield is offered with or without a high density (5.6) flush mounted lead glass window.
Designed for administering Yttrium-90, Strontium-89, Phosphorous-32 and other beta emitting radiopharmaceuticals. The lightweight shield is manufactured in acrylic with a thin layer of lead encapsulated in the acrylic. This construction attenuates both beta emissions and Bremstrahlung.
Thin, lightweight and easy to use, the Pro-Tec II is designed to reduce hand exposure for clinicians during preparation and administration of radiopharmaceuticals.
