Beta Syringe Shield

The Beta Syringe Shield is a specialized radiation protection device engineered for the safe handling and administration of beta-emitting radiopharmaceuticals, particularly those used in theranostic and therapeutic applications. It is designed to significantly reduce hand and finger exposure while maintaining excellent visibility and precise control during dose preparation and injection.
 
This syringe shield utilizes a hybrid shielding design that combines clear plastic and lead to effectively address the radiation characteristics of beta emitters. The clear plastic barrel attenuates beta particles while minimizing the generation of secondary radiation, whereas the integrated 2 mm lead shielding provides protection against associated gamma emissions and unintended bremsstrahlung radiation. This balanced construction ensures optimal radiation safety without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
 
A high-clarity viewing window allows medical personnel to clearly observe syringe contents during dose drawing and administration, supporting accuracy and confidence in clinical workflows. The shield is equipped with a secure thumbscrew mechanism that firmly holds the syringe in place, preventing movement and enhancing handling stability during use.
