Description Of Medical Tungsten Shielding Unit Dose Pig

With the continuous development of the application of nuclear science and technology, the harm of radiation to the human body and the pollution to the environment are gradually recognized by people, and people pay more and more attention to the research on shielding materials. In addition to traditional materials such as lead, steel, and water, tungsten alloys have been identified as a viable radiation shielding material. Medical Tungsten Shielding Unit Dose Pig is a popular type of unit dose shielding container, mainly used to shield doctors and patients from harmful ionizing radiation (such as X-rays, beta rays, and gamma rays). The whole body of the Medical Tungsten Shielding Unit Dose Pig is made of tungsten heavy alloy, which has the characteristics of easy cleaning, environmental protection, high density, strong radiation shielding performance, good impact resistance, and long service life. Medical Tungsten Shielding Unit Dose Pigs can be operated with one hand, which is very suitable for applications such as PET, MR, and SPET.

Features Of Medical Tungsten Shielding Unit Dose Pig

High density and strong shielding ability

Tungsten alloy has a very high density, which can reach 17.0 to 19.3 g/cm³. It can effectively absorb and shield high-energy rays such as X-rays and gamma rays, and provide reliable radiation protection.

Compared with traditional shielding materials such as lead, tungsten alloy requires a smaller material thickness and lighter weight under the same shielding effect.

Anti-rolling design

The dose pig of the medical tungsten shielding device is usually designed with an anti-rolling structure, such as setting anti-rolling parts at both ends of the device. These parts have multiple planes, which can effectively prevent the device from rolling during operation and avoid dose leakage or personal injury caused by rolling.

Durability and stability

Tungsten alloy has high strength and corrosion resistance, and can maintain stable shielding performance in long-term use, and is not easy to reduce the protection effect due to radiation damage.

Detachable and easy to operate

Dose pigs are usually divided into multiple parts (such as head, body, and tail) for easy operation and maintenance. During the injection process, the head and tail can be operated to reduce unnecessary radiation doses.

Applications Of Medical Tungsten Shielding Unit Dose Pig

Used to transport radioactive drugs (such as FDG) required for PET scanning. Tungsten alloy dose pigs can provide sufficient shielding to ensure the safety of workers during transportation while avoiding environmental pollution.

Compared with traditional lead shielding devices, tungsten alloy devices can meet the protection requirements of PET drugs without additional secondary shielding.

Used for storage and management of radiopharmaceuticals in hospitals and laboratories, ensuring safety during preparation, transportation and use.
