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