Description of Lead Shielded Container for Syringe Transport

The Lead Shielded Container for Syringe Transport is a high-safety protective device designed specifically for the fields of nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceuticals. These products typically utilize a 3mm to 6mm thick lead layer as the primary shield, with reinforced shielding—reaching up to 12mm lead equivalence at the ends—applied to high-risk areas for radiation leakage, such as the needle tip and plunger. Some high-end models offer a total shielding equivalence of up to 15mm of lead. The main body is generally constructed from pure lead and encased in stainless steel, ensuring effective shielding while facilitating cleaning and decontamination. The container is primarily used for the safe transport of syringes pre-filled with radioisotopes between radiopharmaceutical preparation laboratories, injection rooms, and SPECT/PET scanning rooms. Its core function relies on shielding layers made of high-density lead or tungsten alloys to effectively attenuate gamma and beta radiation, thereby minimizing radiation exposure to the hands and bodies of medical personnel in strict adherence to the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle of radiation protection.
