Table mounted X-ray protection/barriers

Table shields have either a double-jointed pivotal arm or a single friction pivotal arm. Both can be moved laterally towards the patient or swivelled away from the table to form a 0.5 mm Pb protective wing. All have self-adjusting friction joints ensuring that the shield remains in the desired position. Kenex table shields can be moved from one side of the table to the other in an instant by simply rotating the upper part 180° horizontally. The pivotal arm always faces the head end. To position a table shield, slide the attachment bracket onto the tableside accessory rail. All shields have an automatic wear adjustment facility ensuring accurate joint friction preventing unwanted curtain movement even when the table is tilted in any direction. The suspended curtain forms a single ‘safe zone of occupancy’ for the Radiologist (or Cardiologist). This can be extended by the use of top shields. The curtain forms around an under table x-ray tube without impeding movement. When used in conjunction with Kenex ceiling mounted systems, both upper & lower body protection meet to provide an effective & easy to use barrier to scatter radiation.
