Description Of Medical Syringe Lead Carrier

Lead Syringe Lead Carriers reduce exposure while storing or transporting radioactive material. The overlapping lid design with snap-latch closure prevents streaming. The handle is attached to the body of the carrier, which permits the lid to be easily lifted for syringe removal. The large interior accommodates shielded 10 cc syringes as well as unshielded 20 cc vials.

Features Of Medical Syringe Lead Carrier

Shielding performance: The lead equivalent is usually 0.5–3.0 mmPb, and some high-activity uses can reach 10–30 mmPb, which can effectively shield gamma rays, such as ^99mTc, ^131I, ^18F, etc.

Structural design: Most of them are integrated or pull-out structures, with built-in cylindrical cavities, suitable for standard syringe sizes, and the pull-out part has a limit device to prevent accidental falling off.

Material composition: The outer shell is stainless steel or engineering plastic, lined with high-purity electrolytic lead (≥99.99%), taking into account both protection and corrosion resistance.

Portability: Equipped with a handle or grip, some are docking shielding cover designs, which are easy to carry and quickly open and close.

Applications Of Medical Syringe Lead Carrier

Before SPECT and PET examinations, it is used to safely transport the labeled radioactive drugs from the filling room to the injection table. When the radioactive drugs are not used immediately, they are temporarily stored in lead boxes to avoid contamination of the surrounding environment.
