A Thyroid shield helps us protect the thyroid gland, which is the most radiation-sensitive organ. It is recommended to use a thyroid shield whenever there is an expected radiation exposure.
One must wear a thyroid shield during chest x-ray imaging. It helps minimize the risk of thyroid cancer from radiation exposure. Pregnant women and children are also advised to wear thyroid shields or lead collars.
A thyroid shield is a must for x-rays, fluoroscopy, CT scans etc. If you are a radiographer or a physician who routinely performs such procedures then it is very important that you protect your thyroid gland.
Shaped like a butterfly, the thyroid gland is known as the shield of the body as it protects our body from losing its functional balance. Hence, the shield of the human body must remain shielded from harmful exposure.
Our Thyroid Shield is designed to ensure that there are no holes through which radiation can pass and reach the thyroid gland. We have made them super comfortable for you to wear as it comes with Velcro. The easy maintenance and cleaning is an additional benefit of our thyroid shield.
