Significantly reducing the equivalent dose for occupationally exposed medical staff is a must, not only because of the lowered limits for the effective dose.

The idea of optimisation in radiation protection dictates that every possible measure should be taken to minimise the dose from radiation exposure.

Outstanding usage properties and an optimised fit now make it easy to comfortably protect yourself better.

MAVIG offers with the sterile gloves HS100 an efficient way for a reduction of radiation exposure to the hands. Last but not least, this has contributed to the inclusion of sterile protective gloves with shielding effect against scattered X-ray radiation in the recommendations of DIN 6815:2021 as protective equipment for radiation users.

Worthy to note is that a protective factor of 2 is achieved when using the gloves in the scattered radiation area (X-ray tube voltage of 60 – 80 kV). This dose reduction of > 50 % helps in effectively minimizing risks.

A great elasticity in combination with an excellent anatomical fit allows for optimal working conditions, bringing it in the same category of high quality surgical gloves, while additionally offering efficient protection against secondary X-ray radiation (scattered radiation).

The gloves convince with its high touch-sensitivity and dexterity. The micro-textured surface provides a secure grip, even in moist conditions. The soft, stretchable material with its anatomical form prevents fatigue and provides optimal ergonomic features.

The gloves are easy to put on and are especially tear-resistant due to their elasticity. In addition, the rolled edge counteracts tearing when pulled over.

The protective gloves HS100 are exclusively intended for use in the scattered radiation field. As a sterile product, they are intended for single use only.

Radiation protection aprons are already standard equipment in different departments, e.g. urology, anaesthesia, etc.. However, the currently used front protective aprons are designed for standing positions. But especially in the above mentioned departements, some interventions are performed with the operator in a seated position. This holds the risk that the gonads will be exposed to a considerably higher dose than when standing when a regular front protective apron is used.

(Horsburgh et al: “A Study of Occupational Radiation Dosimetry During Fluoroscopically Guided Simulated Urological Surgery in the Lithotomy Position”)

The main reason for this is the gap in the radiation protection that occurs due to the apron resting on the knees.

Perfect Protection against Radiation

For this purpose, a special gonad protector is attached on the inside of the apron. When sitting in front of a patient, facing forward, this protector hangs down protectively in front of the gonads, while the apron lies on the legs.

At the same time, the new design prevents the apron from slipping down the legs and exposing them. The larger side pieces in the lower part keep the apron in position during any movement.

When you are standing, the RA641 also guarantees complete X-ray protection from neck to knees. Here, the side flaps of the lower part of the apron can simply be fastened together in the back, so that they do not interfere with any movements allowing unrestricted work.

The Standard equipment includes soft shoulder pads and preparation for adaptable embroidery.

Meets all relevant regulations and requirements

Type testing and certification in accordance with (EU) 2016/425, IEC 61331-1:2014 / DIN EN 61331-1:2016 and IEC 61331-3:2014 / DIN EN 61331-3:2016 and (EU) 2017/745 for medical devices.

Produced with the first-class X-ray protective material NovaLite, the apron ensures fulfilment of fundamental occupational health requirements for long wearing periods in radiological workplaces.

MAVIG X-ray protective materials achieve an outstanding rating in terms of weight and X-ray protection. The Standard equipment includes soft shoulder pads and preparation for adaptable embroidery.

Wide Crossbands

Comfortable, wide crossbands allow the apron to be slid off easily by opening the hook & burr closures in the front area, through the sterile surgical coat. MAVIG uses only top quality hook & burr fasteners. If wear and tear should occur on the fleece of our hook & burr closure, it can easily be exchanged.
