Image: Veterinary Series — 5-Finger & Slit-Mitt Lead GlovesImportance of Lead Gloves in Veterinary Practice & Slit-Mitt Design Advantages
Veterinarians often need to manually restrain small and large animals during X-ray scans, exposing their hands to scatter radiation more frequently than human surgeons. This makes specialized armored lead gloves an essential requirement for veterinary clinics.
Atom Koruyucu — Long-Cuff Lead Glove
Lead armored model providing full arm and hand safety in nuclear medicine and fluoroscopy surgeries.
1. Radiation Risks in Veterinary Radiology
During clinical procedures where animal patients must be held still, hands remain in proximity to the primary and scatter beam. Durable gloves with 0.35 mm Pb and 0.50 mm Pb lead equivalency fully cover the hand and forearm, bringing exposure well within ALARA limits.
2. Practical Usage of the Slit-Mitt (Slit Finger) Design
The Slit-Mitt (Model 2) design features a palm slit that allows veterinarians to extend their fingers out to handle syringes or delicate instruments when needed, and immediately retract them back into armored protection when finished.
3. Stain-Resistant & Washable Infabric Outer Textile
Stain-resistant outer fabric coating withstands biological fluids and wear in veterinary clinics, ensuring long service life and easy disinfection.
