WHEN PROTECTION DOESN'T BELONG ON YOUR SHOULDERS

LEAD BARRIERS

Radiation protection works best as a system. Our lead barriers help reduce scatter without adding weight, providing an additional layer of protection for physicians and staff. From mobile barriers to overhead shields and table drapes, each solution is designed to protect where it's needed most. Learn More

Radiation Barriers Built from US Steel and Aluminum

Radiation barriers protect staff in fluoroscopy suites, interventional radiology, cardiac cath labs, and emergency rooms from scatter radiation. Protech’s X-ray barriers are manufactured in the USA from US steel and aluminum, designed for quick assembly without specialized tools, and built for durability in high-volume imaging environments.

All Protech barriers are constructed to meet applicable NCRP and NRC shielding guidelines.

Barrier Configurations

Full Mobile Barriers

  • Full Acrylic Mobile Barrier: Full height bismuth acrylic panel with a completely transparent viewing field. Easy to move anywhere and suited for general fluoroscopy and interventional suites.
  • Full Glass Mobiles Barrier: Full-height lead glass panel. Higher attenuation to suit cardiac cath labs, interventional ORs, and other important high-dose scenarios where having maximum shielding is necessary.

Half Mobile Barriers

  • Half Acrylic Mobile Barrier: A bismuth acrylic construction that is effective for under-table and lower-body scatter zones in moderate-exposure settings.
  • Half Glass Mobile Barrier: Lead glass panel at half height. Perfect for situations that require higher attenuation at table level in more demanding imaging environments.

Adjustable Mobile Barriers

  • Adjustable Mobile Barrier: Height-adjustable design for different procedures and requirements
  • Porta Shield: Portable, lightweight barrier for facilities that require a flexible barrier option.
  • Graduated Porta Shield: Stepped shielding profile for environments that require coverage across multiple exposure zones at the same time.
  • T2 Barrier: A barrier constructed with the same durable outer material and inner core layering as our protective garments. Combines both the traditional attenuation of barriers with the modern flexibility of lighter garment-grade construction.

Table Drapes for Scatter Protection

Radiation table drapes provide under-table scatter shielding during fluoroscopy and interventional procedures. Protech’s double-sided table drape is designed for standard imaging table configurations, protecting staff from primary and secondary scatter at lower body exposure zones.

Easy Assembly, No Tools Required

Every Protech Mobile barrier is designed for fast, tool-free setup. Frames assemble without any sort of specialized hardware, making repositioning between rooms or procedures practical in busy imaging environments.

Frequently asked questions

1What is an x-ray lead barrier used for?
X-ray lead barriers are used to protect staff from any sort of scatter radiation in fluoroscopy suites, cardiac cath labs, interventional radiology rooms, and emergency imaging environments. They are built and positioned between the radiation source and the staff who have to stay in the room during procedures.
2What materials are Protech's radiation barriers made from?
Protech mobile barriers are constructed from lead-lined US steel and aluminum frames with either bismuth acrylic or lead glass shielding panels. Both panel types provide radiation attenuation appropriate for diagnostic and interventional imaging environments. Technical specifications are available on request for RSO review.
3Do radiation barriers require professional installation?
No. Protech's mobile barriers are designed for easy assembly and can be set up by facility staff without specialized hardware or contractors. Fixed installation options may require additional support. Contact our team for guidance.
4What is the difference between a mobile lead barrier and a table drape?
A lead barrier is a freestanding or mobile structure that shields staff standing near the radiation source. A table drape is a lead-lined fabric panel that drapes over the imaging table to block under-table scatter, protecting staff at lower body exposure zones during fluoroscopy procedures without impeding workflow.
5Can table drapes be custom-sized?
Custom sized table drapes are our specialty. Contact our team with your table dimensions for a custom quote.
