Meditronix provides a comprehensive portfolio of nuclear medicine hot lab shielding items, including PET dose cabinets, hot cells/fume hoods, L‑shields, interlocking lead bricks, lead-lined decay drums and waste bins, shielded syringe carriers, tungsten and lead syringe shields, PPE kits, decontamination kits and custom glove boxes.

Lead and tungsten are high-density materials that provide excellent attenuation of gamma and high-energy photons, making them ideal for reducing occupational exposure in nuclear medicine environments. Meditronix uses carefully selected grades and thicknesses of these materials to achieve the required shielding performance while maintaining practical size and weight.

Yes. Meditronix designs hot lab shielding products in line with national and international radiation safety recommendations and ALARA principles, and works closely with facility physicists to meet site-specific regulatory requirements. In addition, Meditronix operates under recognized quality management systems such as ISO 9001:2015 for overall quality management and ISO 13485:2016 for medical device–related processes, ensuring that design, manufacturing, and documentation of shielding products follow robust, auditable procedures. Products such as fume hoods, L‑benches, glove boxes, and decay drums are engineered and documented to support compliance during internal quality audits as well as external inspections by hospital accreditation bodies and radiation regulators.

Meditronix hot lab items are manufactured using high-purity lead or tungsten shielding, typically encapsulated within robust mild steel or stainless-steel structures for durability and hygiene. Lead surfaces are coated with paint to minimize lead exposure to skin and allow easy cleaning and decontamination in a nuclear medicine environment.

Yes. Enclosures are typically clad in painted mild steel or SS-304, with smooth, wipeable surfaces that are compatible with standard hospital disinfectants. Internal layouts are designed to avoid unnecessary crevices, allowing quick decontamination in case of spills.

Standard configurations include lead thicknesses such as 3 mm, 6 mm, 12 mm and higher for heavy shielding structures. For example, some cabinets and glove boxes are provided with around 12 mm of lead shielding, while select shields and brick systems can be configured with different thicknesses based on isotope and activity level.

Yes. Meditronix specializes in custom-built hot lab shielding and can manufacture products with user-specified lead or tungsten thickness to meet calculated dose-rate targets at the work position. Customers can also share room layout, isotope energy, and expected activity, and Meditronix will propose thickness options along with corresponding weights and dimensional drawings.

Yes, many hospitals request integration of lead or tungsten shielding into existing benches, cabinets, or layouts, and Meditronix can design inserts, shielded modules, or add-on structures that fit the current infrastructure. Site visits or layout drawings are typically used to ensure proper fit and ergonomics.

Yes. Most shielding items are heavy, so Meditronix designs them with sturdy handles, base supports, and appropriate lifting points, and recommends using trolleys or lifters for large assemblies. Lead components are encapsulated or coated to minimize direct contact, and users are advised to avoid mechanical damage to protective coatings.​

Yes. Meditronix provides end-to-end support including delivery, installation, alignment, and training on safe use. The team can also coordinate with your medical physicist to verify shielding performance against design expectations after commissioning.
