Click on image for enlarged view
The Radiation Shield is a lead mat coated with rubber on both sides.
The thickness of the lead foil is 0.25 mm. In distal locking procedures,
it reduces the radiation exposure to the surgeon. The shield should be
placed on the medial aspect of the tibia, proximal to the distal
locking holes.
The Radiation Shield is autoclavable at 270°F (134°C).
