Whenever there is expected radiation, especially in x-rays, CT scans, fluoroscopy, etc, a thyroid shield is mandatory. It helps protect the thyroid gland, which is the most radiation-sensitive organ of the human body and needs to be protected against any exposure to radiation
Wearing a Thyroid Shield minimizes the risk of thyroid cancer, which happens due to harmful radiation exposure. Pregnant women and children are also advised to wear thyroid shields or lead collars wherever exposure to harmful radiation is expected
The thyroid gland is known as the shield of the body as it maintains our body’s functional balance. It is shaped like a butterfly and is very delicate. Hence, our Thyroid Shield is designed with comfortable fabric that has no gaps or holes, which allows the radiation to pass through and is therefore 100% safe to use.
The easy cleaning and maintenance of the Thyroid shield is an additional beneficial feature and one more reason why you should consider buying it. The Velcro in the shield ensures its adjustability for a perfect fit and ease of use
