Mobile bed shield for nuclear medicine applications

Enhance radiation protection during patient examinations with this portable shield, designed to ensure safety in nuclear medicine environments.

The VLS Series from Comecer provides a crucial safety solution with its mobile bed shields specifically designed for nuclear medicine environments. These shields protect personnel from radiation exposure during patient examinations by utilizing 2 mm lead (VLS-100: 3 mm) encased within robust stainless steel frames. With lead acrylic glass windows offering 0.8 mm lead equivalent shielding, the VLS Series ensures optimal protection. Highly portable on swivel castors, these shields integrate seamlessly into medical and radiopharmaceutical settings, including nuclear medicine facilities and radiopharmaceutical manufacturing. The VLS Series is particularly effective for shielding during the handling of isotopes like Technetium-99m, FDG, and Iodine-131. Available in multiple configurations such as VLS-100, VLS-201, VLS-202, VLS-203, and VLS-204, these mobile shields cater to various operational needs, facilitating manual handling and positioning while maintaining rigorous safety standards.
