RadSafe Radiation Filter

Smart ways to minimize radiation exposure!

RadSafe is a radiation-reducing device made of special ceramic materials that reduces scattered and refracted X-rays from C-Arm imaging during procedures and surgery. It significantly reduces radiation exposure for both patients and medical staff in the medical environment.

DOUBLE EFFECT

Reduce Direct Beam & Scatter Radiation

Primary Exposure by Short-wavelength X-rays that create images and radiation that radiates sideways.

“Reduce radiation, maintain image quality.”

Wouldn’t the image quality be reduced since the device is mounted on the X-ray tube? Don’t worry — it has minimal impact on image quality.
