Syntegra X: The New Standard in Radiation Attenuation for Surgical Safety
Fluoroscopic imaging, a critical tool in modern surgery, allows real-time visualization to enhance precision during procedures. However, this technology also poses risks for healthcare professionals, as scattered radiation exposes surgeons' hands to potentially harmful ionizing rays.
Toxic Protection? Lead – a dangerous and toxic matrial
In some cases, lead is used as the shielding material in radiation attenuation gloves. Lead is toxic and must be disposed of as hazardous waste. The acidity of sweat can cause the solubilization of lead ions from lead oxide allowing lead to be
absorbed through the skin.
Syntegra X: Next-Level Protection and Comfort
Syntegra X provides a superior alternative to traditional radiation attenuation gloves by combining safety with comfort. Made from synthetic polyisoprene, this glove offers excellent tactile sensitivity and minimizes hand fatigue, enabling surgeons to maintain precision without compromising safety - Leadfree!
Key features of Syntegra X
- X–cellent Wearing Comfort: Syntegra X’s textured micro-surface on the fingertips provides excellent grip and control, facilitating precise instrument handling even during extended procedures. Its flexible, ergonomic design minimizes hand strain, supporting prolonged wear with minimal discomfort.
- X–tra Safe Composition: The proprietary tungsten material in Syntegra X is 75% denser than lead, delivering unmatched attenuation without the toxicity risks associated with leaded gloves. This lead-free composition not only enhances safety but also simplifies disposal, addressing a major environmental and occupational concern.
- X–celerator Optimized: Syntegra X is formulated without allergenic accelerators like DPG and MBT (now recognized as a cancer-causing agent under California Prop-65). Its advanced washing process further reduces residual chemicals, lowering the risk of allergic reactions and making it an ideal choice for sensitive users.
Designed for Safety, Developed for Precision
Syntegra X has been engineered to provide reliable, high-quality protection against the scattered radiation inherent in fluoroscopic procedures. Its innovative composition and high manufacturing standards set it apart from other radiation attenuation gloves, prioritizing both healthcare worker safety and patient care.
Discover the Syntegra X Advantage
Syntegra X represents a significant advancement in radiation attenuation glove technology, offering healthcare professionals high protection without sacrificing comfort.
(Note: Syntegra X is designed for protection against scattered ionizing rays and should not be used in or near the primary X-ray beam.)
