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.
Secondary Exposure by Scattering rays that bounce off the patient's body or objects.
Protection for Both Patients & Medical Staff
For Doctors
Unit: (μGy/min)
For Patients

Maximum Radiation Exposure Reduction Rate
Scatter Radiation:
~62%
Direct Beam:
~73%
“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.
