Home/Resources/End Use Applications
End Use Applications
RFB gloves are indicated wherever excellent dexterity must coexist with protection from scattered ionising radiation — across medical imaging, radiological and invasive image‑guided procedures.
General X‑Ray & Fluoroscopy
Continuous screening places hands near the scatter field for extended periods — the core use case the range is built for.
Interventional Radiology
Catheter and guidewire manipulation under fluoroscopy, where tactile feedback and attenuation must be specified together.
Radiography
Positioning and support tasks in diagnostic radiography where hands work close to the exposure field.
Neuroradiology
Long, precision‑critical neurovascular procedures where hand fatigue and dose both accumulate.
Urology
Fluoroscopy‑guided endourology and stone work with sustained hands‑near‑field time.
CT‑Guided Procedures
Biopsies, drainages and ablations guided by CT, where intermittent exposure meets sterile technique.
Radiotherapy
Set‑up, handling and support tasks within radiotherapy departments.
Nuclear Medicine
Preparation and administration work with radiopharmaceuticals, with the lead‑free series easing disposal.
Scatter, Not Primary Beam
Protection with the right expectations.
Attenuating gloves reduce the dose from scattered secondary radiation reaching the hands. They complement — never replace — good radiation practice: collimation, distance, exposure time discipline, and keeping hands out of the primary beam.
Attenuation for each series is measured in the direct beam at 60–120 kVp and published on the data sheets so physicists can evaluate real shielding values, not marketing claims.
