Testicle Shields

• 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 top and bottom halves of the shield 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 (04-1106) can be used to cover the testicles when placing them inside a cold shield. The Cover secures and protects the scrotum while it is encapsulated in a lead testicle shield.

The easily Adjustable Testicle Shield Stand will cradle all round testicle shields. When using the Adjustable Shield Stand, no straps are needed. 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
(04-1107) be used while raising and lowering the testicle shields to reduce patient discomfort.
