What To Pay Attention To When Applying Lead Clothing?

Radiation equipment has greatly facilitated the physical examination and treatment of patients. In addition to patients, doctors need to better protect themselves from radiation hazards during reasonable treatment. So what should we pay attention to when using Lead Clothing?
1. Avoid contact with sharp objects during application to prevent scratches and affect the protective effect.
2. When not in use, it should be hung on a lead clothes hanger, and it cannot be folded or squeezed. Long-term folding and stacking will shorten its service life and affect the protective effect.
3. Because this product is different from other clothes, it cannot be washed when it is dirty. If the medical lead clothing is contaminated with dirt, it can be wiped with a soft cloth dipped in alcohol or with a neutral detergent. If it is contaminated by the blood and body fluid of an infected patient, it can be sterilized with ethylene oxide gas if necessary, and it cannot be sterilized with high temperature and high pressure. Sterilize.
4. After the application is completed, special personnel, special counters, special locks, and special policy registration management should be implemented. The operating room can have a special person, a special counter, responsible for the management of the lead clothing or a daily duty officer in charge of management.
5. The person in charge counts the quantity of the product. For the orthopedic surgeons to be used on the day, the surgical itinerary nurse should borrow lead clothing from the person in charge. When lending out, the roving nurse and the person in charge jointly count the product and its accessories. After the inventory is completed, the person in charge records the number of the operating room and the name of the itinerant nurse.

Doctors are exposed to large amounts of radiation during interventional therapy for patients. Lead clothing, lead caps, lead scarves, and lead glasses are even more indispensable. Optional lead masks, interventional gloves, etc. Because doctors are exposed to radiation for a long time, it is recommended to choose imported materials or imported products.

What are the consequences of using poor quality lead clothing?
Nowadays, for interventional treatment hospital departments such as cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery, vascular, oncology, etc., doctors and nurses need to be protected, such as self-protection, shielding protection, time protection and distance protection of X-ray machines Wait, the use of lead clothing for protection at this stage is particularly effective and convenient, but the quality of the product is now uneven, so what are the consequences if poor-quality lead clothing is used?
1. Inferior products mostly use secondary rubber or even tertiary rubber as raw material, which is very easy to age, resulting in the breakage of the lead layer, the free and uneven lead molecules, and the leakage of rays.
2. Because the lead molecules in inferior lead clothing are relatively large and unevenly distributed, after a period of application, the lead powder will fall off in large quantities and enter the body with the pores, causing lead poisoning after long-term application.
3. Inferior products are often heavy in weight, and some even reach more than 20 catties. Doctors wear them for a long time, which is very easy to aggravate fatigue during surgery. Under long-term heavy pressure, it not only affects the quality of surgery, but also tends to cause occupational damage in the long run , leading to occupational diseases such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar muscle strain.

This is the consequence of using poor-quality lead clothing for a long time. Nowadays, the domestic protective clothing market is relatively mixed. We must learn how to identify the quality of this product to ensure our safety.
