Provide targeted and adaptable protection with the IS IndoSurgicals Breast Protector Scoliosis Shawl, designed specifically to shield sensitive breast tissue during full-spine and scoliosis X-ray imaging. This versatile shawl is available in 0.25mm and 0.5mm lead equivalent options, utilizing BARC-tested core materials (StPb®, LiPb®, or NoPb®). Its innovative design includes a hook-and-loop system along its length, allowing it to be folded to double its protection (e.g., 0.5mm becomes 1.0mm Pb eq.) for customized safety.

Featuring an adjustable waist belt with a buckle for a secure fit and comprehensive coverage, this shawl prioritizes patient comfort with skin-friendly edges and an antimicrobial outer fabric. Ideal for radiology departments performing long cassette imaging, it ensures critical tissue is protected without compromising diagnostic quality, embodying the ALARA principle for female patients of all ages.

Features

• Innovative Doubling Fold Design: Incorporates a full-length hook-and-loop system that allows the shawl to be folded over itself, instantly doubling its lead equivalent protection (e.g., from 0.5mm to 1.0mm Pb eq.) for enhanced safety when needed, without requiring a separate, heavier shield.
• Purpose-Built for Scoliosis Imaging: Specifically shaped and sized to provide complete, unobtrusive coverage of the breast tissue during lengthy, full-spine radiographs required for scoliosis monitoring and assessment, a procedure with significant scatter exposure.
• Adjustable Waist Belt for Secure Fit: Includes an adjustable strap-type belt with a buckle that secures the shawl around the patient's torso, ensuring it remains correctly positioned over the chest area throughout the imaging process without slipping.
• BARC-Certified Core Options: Offers a choice of certified protective cores: StPb® for standard lead protection, LiPb® for a lighter-weight option, and NoPb® for a lead-free, environmentally friendly alternative.
• Hygienic & Patient-Comfort Focus: Constructed with soft, skin-friendly binding on all edges to prevent chafing and an antimicrobial, odor-resistant PU-coated outer layer for easy cleaning and patient comfort.
