What Are The Functions And Categories Of Lead Clothing?

X-rays are harmful to the human body due to radiation. Wearing Lead Clothing can effectively withstand radiation protection, thereby protecting the safety of medical staff. Lead clothing is a special kind of clothing. It can minimize the harm to patients during physical examination by shielding radiation.

In the hospital, for doctors, radiation protection walls, radiation protection doors and windows, and lead clothing can play a very good protective role during examinations. For patients, a set of lead scarves, aprons, and hats are needed to protect themselves. Make full use of the lead clothing to minimize the damage caused by rays. Lead clothing is an indispensable and best radiation protection tool for hospitals, chemical industries, national defense, etc.

Lead clothing is based on the principle that radiation is attenuated when passing through materials. A thick enough shielding (attenuating material) is added between the person and the radiation source to reduce the external radiation dose below the control standard to protect human body safety. Second, the materials used for shielding are determined based on the different properties, types, and output amounts of the rays, and their thickness is determined based on the control level.

Lead garments are divided into single-sided lead garments, double-sided lead garments, split and one-piece styles, including: sleeveless, half-sleeved, long-sleeved, long-sleeved. Other parts must be covered whether taking radiographs or CT.

What should we pay attention to when using lead clothing?
1. During transportation and storage, lead clothing must be kept away from heavy pressure, sunlight, and rain. It is strictly forbidden to come into contact with corrosive and soluble substances such as acids, alkalis, oils, and organic solvents.
2. The product should be stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse with a storage temperature of 0-40°C and a height of more than 150mm from the ground.
3. Regularly conduct lead equivalent testing on lead clothing. For lead clothing with a service life of more than three years, the frequency of testing should be increased to prevent the lead clothing from reducing its shielding ability due to cracks, cracking, stretching and thinning, etc., which will cause harm to human health. harm.
4. Do not expose lead clothing to sunlight or store it near an ozone generator.
5. Lead clothing cannot be washed. If the lead clothing is contaminated with contaminants, it can be wiped with alcohol or sterilized with ethylene oxide gas. Do not use high temperature and high pressure sterilization.
6. After use, the clothes should be hung away from heat sources and away from strong light, and should not be pressed into dead folds or damaged.

What issues should be paid attention to when maintaining lead clothing?
1. When using medical lead clothing, avoid contact with sharp objects to avoid scratches and affect the protective effect.
2. Medical lead clothing should be hung on lead clothing hangers when not in use. It should not be folded or squeezed. Long-term folding and stacking will shorten its service life and affect the protective effect.
3 Medical lead clothing is different from ordinary clothing. Medical lead clothing cannot be washed. If the medical lead clothing is contaminated with dirt, it can be wiped with a soft cloth dipped in alcohol or neutral detergent. If it is contaminated by the blood and body fluids of an infected person, it can be sterilized and sterilized with ethylene oxide gas if necessary. Do not Sterilize with high temperature and high pressure.
4 Medical lead clothing and its spare parts all have lead equivalent specifications in terms of radiation protection. The lead equivalents of protective components in different parts are different. The lead content of lead clothing and its spare parts should be tested regularly to ensure that the lead equivalent is normal and that medical lead clothing can effectively protect against radiation.
