The Pro-Tec® PET Syringe Shield reduces hand
exposure from syringes containing 511 keV radionuclides. The barrel of the
shield is constructed of .34" thick (9 mm) tungsten that attenuates FDG F-18
by 88%.
The syringe shield is offered with or without
a high density (6.2) flush mounted lead glass window that provides
protection and visibility. The interior of the barrel behind the glass has a
white coating that improves the view of the syringe and contents. A thumb
screw holds syringes firmly in place.
Pro-Tec® PET Syringe Shields accommodate
standard sized 3 cc to 10 cc syringes. The Pro-Tec PET Syringe Shield fits
the Manual Dose Injector.
