The male reproductive organ is one of the most radiosensitive organs. Hence, it is vital to use gonad shielding during diagnostic procedures like pelvic radiography by every individual at or below reproductive age. The popular practice of gonad shielding is the placement of lead or lead-free shields in the midline of the pelvis.
At Kennedy Radiology, we have designed our gonad shield in America to provide optimum protection without obscuring diagnostic information. It comprises a flexible strap, which is easy to wear and ensures even weight distribution. We offer the gonad shield in both lead and lead-free options with a level of protection of 1.0mmLE. Our product complies with all the global standards, including regulations for personal protective equipment.
