Patient Shields Breast Shields Eye Shields Thyroid Shields Pediatric Shields   AttenuRad CT Breast Shield System (Female Adults) Today, CT Scans play a critical role in the diagnosis and management of most patients with complex thoracic and cardiopulmonary diseases. As the use of CT imaging increases, however, so does the risk for latent carcinogenic effects of ionizing radiation on radiosensitive tissue including the female breast. The recently redesigned Attenurad Breast Shield System consists of a thin (1 mm) piece of bismuth impregnated synthetic rubber covering that mounts firmly on an offset quarter inch foam base. The breast shield system offers up to a 57% reduction of radiation exposure during a CT scan without significant changes in image quality, including artifacts and beam hardening effects. Additional foam offsets are available.

ARB42 Breast Shields, Medium Each shield come with a .635 cm foam offset.   Additional offset foam available. ARB53 Breast Shield, Large     AttenuRad CT Eye Shield The lens of the eye is sensitive to radiation during routine Cranial CT. Patient undergoing routine CT scans of the head are especially vulnerable to complications. The AttenuRad CT Eye Shield is a single-piece bismuth impregnated synthetic rubber covering designed to provide significant protection. The shield molds over the patients nasal bridge with the shielding portions laying flat over the patients closed eyes. Adhesive material ensures a tight seal with minimal air gaps. This shield is cut to a thickness of 1 mm, allowing for 50% dose savings to the eye lens. The AttenuRan CT eye shield, which can be used both for adults and pediatrics, is intended to be a single use product because of potential biological contamination.   ARE Eye Shields 20/pack   AttenuRad CT Thyroid Shield Positioned over the Adam’s Apple, the AttenuRad CT Thyroid shield is designed to provide maximum to the radiosensitive thyroid gland. To ensure tight positioning, a curved notch in the center of the shield is placed around the Adam’s Apple and an adhesive backing holds the shield firm as the patient breathes and swallows. The AttenuRad CT Thyroid shield, when used for the soft tissues of the neck, is cut to a thickness of 1 mm allowing for a 60% dose savings to the Thyroid.     ART Thyroid Shields 10/pack   AttenuRad CT Breast Shield System (Female Pediatric) Studies have indicated that infants and children are ten times more susceptible to carcinogenesis from radiation than adults. Breast tissue exposed to radiation from CT procedures involving the chest or abdomen is an area of particular concern for young females. The AttenuRad CT Breast Shield System provides significant in-plane breast shielding (57%) for pediatric MDCT, without qualitative or quantitative changes in the CT image. The use of the system’s offset foam base gives the shields additional substance and durability, making them easy to use. The use of the elevating foam also decreases the patient’s exposure to scattered radiation. Shields are non-latex and lead free. Protection: .035mm Pb equivalent   AR14X5 Neonate 10/pack All pediatric shields come with a .635 cm foam offset. Additional offset foam available. AR24X6 1 year old 8/pack AR28X8 5 year old 6/pack AR33X10 10 year old 4/pack
