Description of Tungsten Alloy Syringe Protection

Tungsten Alloy Syringe Protection, also known as an injection shield, is designed to reduce the exposure of hands to medical radioactive injections. This non-magnetic Pro-Tec PET/MR syringe shield can reduce hand contact with syringes containing 511 keV radionuclide. The barrel of the shield is made of 0.34" thick (9 mm) tungsten, which attenuates FDG F-18 by 88%. Studies have shown that the shielding performance of heavy metals is caused by density. The higher the density, the better the shielding performance. The density can be as high as 16.5 ~ 19.0g/cm3, which has a good shielding effect on radioactive materials. Compared with lead shielded syringes, tungsten alloy PET shielded syringes are more environmentally friendly.

Features of Tungsten Alloy Syringe Protection

1. The whole body is made of tungsten alloy material, with a high radiation protection level, strong corrosion resistance, and good durability.

2. Clip-Lock Syringe Shield 2ml can be equipped with a lead glass window, which is convenient for doctors to observe the residual amount of radioactive liquid in the syringe.

3. Must-have snaps or turnbuckles that can reduce exposure for faster handling.

4. It fits most disposable syringes.

5. It can be easily disinfected with alcohol wipes.

Applications of Tungsten Alloy Syringe Protection

Tungsten Alloy Syringe Protection is suitable for disposable syringes and is often placed in PET departments, SPET departments, MR departments, nuclear medicine laboratories, etc. Of course, it can also play a certain role in some biomedical experiments.
