 Shield interlock prevents radiation leakage and holds alignment- 1/2” (1.27 cm) lead wall thickness
- An open sector is provided in each shield to allow comfortable positioning on the patient
- Lugs cast into each half of the shield unit provide anchor points for the two rubber straps used to hold the unit together
- All surfaces of the shields are coated with a tan polyurethane paint
 The lead testicle shields are designed with a tongue and groove interlock to eliminate radiation leakage where the blocks are joined together and to prevent the halves from sliding apart. The shields top and bottom halves can be secured together with two rubber straps (supplied with each unit) or with nylon tape. Rotating the entrance of the shield toward the ceiling will reduce scatter radiation from entering the shield. A soft cotton sock or the Kianni cover (Item 928-150) can be used to cover the testicles when placing them inside a cold shield. The testicle shields are available in three sizes: small, medium and large. When using the Adjustable Stand with the shields, no rubber straps are needed.
This easily Adjustable Testicle Shield Stand will cradle all 3 sizes of the round testicle shields. A hand knob allows for easy vertical adjustment from 1” to 10” (five turns per inch). The counter weighted base is made of cast iron. A plastic plate, secured to the base, provides easy positioning. The unit can be used for anterior and posterior treatments.
It is recommended that the Adjustable Testicle Shield Stand (Item 928-505) be used while raising and lowering the testicle shields, as this will reduce patient discomfort.
Set-up:
1. Place half of shield in the stand cradle.
2. Adjust height and place testicles on the shield.
3. Fit the other half of the shield with the first half over the testicles and adjust height of stand if needed.
4. Rotate the opening of the shield toward the ceiling to reduce scatter from entering the shield.
