X Ray Lead Cap Lead Equivalency 0.35 mm (Radiation Protection Head Shield), (Multicolor) Lead Equivalency 0.35 mm – BARC Approved. X Ray Lead Cap (Radiation Protection Head Shield) for Head

This head-shielding cap is designed to protect the wearer’s head (scalp, sides, forehead) from scatter/secondary radiation in X-ray/fluoroscopy/gamma-ray work zones. It is built with a shielding core that offers a lead-equivalent of 0.35 mm Pb (lead) which means it has radiation attenuation roughly matching a 0.35 mm thick sheet of lead. (Note: “lead equivalent” denotes same protection, though actual material may vary). Specified use is for medical imaging, interventional cath labs, dental radiography, C-arm procedures etc.

Typical materials include lead-vinyl ( light-lead alloy), or lead-free alternatives (combining bismuth/tungsten/antimony) for lighter weight
