CT Testicle Shield, LARGE, 3" Inside Diameter, 4" Outside Diameter.

RPD CT Testicle Shields are designed to be used in conjunction with RPD Lead Testicle Shields for CT planning, as well as the Adjustable Stand for Testicle Shields for positioning of the devices.  The lead testicle shields are to be used in radiation therapy to reduce the gonadal dose in order to lower the incidence of infertility and hypogonadism in male patients.  

The CT Testicle Shields are identical to the Lead Testicle Shields in size and shape but not weight. They are made of blue silicone rubber with shore hardness of 50A. The CT Testicle Shields do not use the rubber straps as the straps are too strong for the silicone rubber.

The CT testicle shields are available in three sizes: small, medium and large. A soft cotton sock or cover can be used to cover the testicles when placing them inside a cold shield.

The CT Testicle Shields should be used with the Adjustable CT Stand. This easily Adjustable CT Testicle Shield Stand will cradle all 3 sizes of the round CT testicle shields. The holder for the testicle shield is made of PVC on this stand to minimize artifact on the CT scan. 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 CT Stand for CT Testicle Shields (Item 926-100) be used while raising and lowering the testicle shields, as this will reduce patient discomfort.

Note: Air bubbles may be present in the silicone rubber material.  These bubbles do not impact the performance for the intended purpose of the device.
