Description Of Tungsten Unit Dose Syringe Shield Pig

In the diagnosis and treatment of nuclear medicine, radionuclides are important inspection drugs, but usually with strong radiation, if not shielded, they will cause radiation damage to doctors and patients. Tungsten Unit Dose Syringe Shield Pigs are designed for transporting 10ml or 30ml vials containing high-energy radionuclides (i.e., F18-FDG), with good radiation protection, strong mechanical properties, strong plasticity, high compressive strength, strong impact resistance, Environmental protection, no pollution, excellent corrosion resistance, and other advantages. Tungsten Unit Dose Syringe Shield Pig consists mainly of three tubular containers made of tungsten alloy, each interface is designed with threads that can be opened or locked with a single twist, speeding up processing time and allowing for quick insertion and withdrawal of doses.

Features Of Tungsten Unit Dose Syringe Shield Pig

Efficient radiation shielding

The tungsten unit dose syringe protective pig adopts high-density tungsten alloy material, which can effectively 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 less material thickness and lighter weight under the same shielding effect.

Anti-roll design

The anti-roll function is one of its important features. Anti-roll components are designed at both ends of the pig. These components have multiple planes, which can effectively prevent the device from rolling during operation and avoid dose leakage or personal injury caused by rolling.

Strong durability

The high strength and hardness of tungsten alloy ensure the stability and durability of the pig in long-term use, and it can maintain good shielding performance even in harsh environments.

Easy operation

The pig is usually designed as a detachable structure, divided into a head, a main body, and a tail, which is easy to operate and maintain. During the injection process, the head and the tail can be operated to reduce unnecessary radiation doses.

Low background radiation interference

The surface of tungsten alloy is covered with a dense oxide film, which is chemically inert and will not react with drugs. It meets medical and health standards and can be used for direct contact with radioactive substances.

Applications  Of Tungsten Unit Dose Syringe Shield Pig

Used to store and transport radiopharmaceuticals (such as ¹⁸F-FDG), ensuring that the activity of the drug is not 

affected during transportation while protecting medical staff from radiation exposure. The pig is designed to meet 

IATA and DOT II transportation requirements can be safely used for the transportation of radiopharmaceuticals.

In PET scanning, tungsten unit dose syringe protective pigs are used to safely transport and inject radiopharmaceuticals. 

Its high-density tungsten alloy shielding ability ensures the safety of medical staff during the injection process.

In the new drug development stage, pigs are used to encapsulate new positron tracers to ensure the safety of 

personnel during the development process and enable accurate data collection.
