The Tungsten Unit Dose Pig accommodates the most commonly used conventional and safety-engineered syringes. The tungsten components are rugged and easy to clean. A single twist to open or close reduces loading/unloading time. The overlap design eliminates streaming regardless of the dose's position inside the pig.
A replaceable O-ring protects against leakage. Complete tungsten will not be damaged by automatic washing systems. Smooth metal surfaces make the application and removal of adhesive labels easy. This product is designed to comply with IATA and DOT II requirements when transported in an appropriate shipping container.
Innovative and cost-effective, the Tungsten Unit Dose Pig will help improve the safety and efficiency of radiopharmaceutical handling procedures.
1. All tungsten integrated design: constructed from pure tungsten or high-purity tungsten alloy, and lead-free or other low-density materials, providing the ultimate performance concerning radiation shielding to ensure the safety of enclosed radioactive drugs.
2. Ultra-thin wall thickness and high strength: The wall containing the device is hyped through powder metallurgy technique, which helps achieve extremely thin wall thickness, so the structure is easy to transport and operate.
3. Low background radiation interference: the rod/gun material must consist of elements with very low natural radioactivity to avoid interference with radioactive signals of drugs such as ¹⁸F-FDG, increasing the sensitivity of PET imaging.
4. Chemical inertia and biocompatibility: Chemical reactions with drugs can't arise as the tungsten surface is capped with a dense oxide film by the tungsten itself, and they are up to the medical hygiene standards, which means they can be used for direct contact with radioactive substances.
1. Used for the packaging and shipping of drugs like ¹⁸ F-FDG, the New Tungsten Unit Dose Pig safeguards healthcare workers from radiation exposure and ensures the activity of the drug is maintained.
2. After the drugs are packaged in the nuclear pharmacy, they are conveniently shipped to different hospital departments using new tungsten units so that daily PET examinations can be performed.
3. During the clinical trial phase of new drug development, the New Tungsten Unit Dose Pig encapsulates the new positron tracer while ensuring the safety of the personnel so accurate data can be collected during the R&D cycle.
