Radiation Protection Lead Collar For Your Pediatric Patients

A pediatric X Ray Lead Neck Collar is a specialized protective shield that is used during medical imaging procedures, such as X-rays or CT scans, to protect the thyroid gland in children from unnecessary radiation exposure. The thyroid gland is particularly sensitive to radiation, especially in children, and excessive exposure can increase the risk of developing thyroid cancer or other thyroid-related disorders later in life. The Xray Lead Thyroid Collar is specifically designed to fit around the neck of a child and is made of lead or lead-equivalent material. X-Ray Lead Rubber Protection Collar is contoured to provide a snug fit and has a Velcro strap or other fastening mechanism to secure it in place. The pediatric lead collar is typically used in conjunction with a standard lead apron that is worn over the chest and abdomen to provide additional radiation protection.
