Phillips Safety Max Mobile Lead Shield with H-Base | 0.5mm PbEq Height-Adjustable Radiation Protection

The Max Mobile Lead Shield provides a certified 0.5mm Pb lead equivalency (PbEq) to ensure maximum attenuation of secondary and scatter radiation. This rating meets the standard clinical requirements for interventional and diagnostic imaging environments where staff proximity to the X-ray source is required. The shielding material is composed of high-grade leaded vinyl, which provides consistent protection across the entire surface area of the panel. By implementing 0.5mm PbEq barriers, facilities can significantly lower the effective dose to personnel in accordance with ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles. This compliance is essential for meeting state health department and institutional safety regulations.

The all-steel H-base is engineered with a wide 24" x 24" footprint to provide a lower center of gravity and superior tip-resistance during transport. Unlike traditional T-bases which can be prone to wobbling on uneven thresholds, the H-base distributes the weight of the leaded panel across four points of contact. The open-base geometry featuring 20" W x 16" D internal clearance allows the shield to be positioned partially under or around tables and equipment. This ensures that the radiation barrier can be placed closer to the patient or source without obstructing the technician’s workflow. Furthermore, the hardened chrome steel post maintains vertical alignment even under the heavy load of the 48" x 48" panel option.

Yes, the Max Mobile Lead Shield features a Posi-Lock height adjustable arm with a spring-loaded pin that allows for precise vertical positioning up to 60 inches. This adjustment capability is critical for protecting staff who may be seated during certain procedures or standing during standard radiography. The spring-loaded pin mechanism ensures that the shield remains securely locked at the desired height, preventing accidental slips that could expose the user to scatter radiation. Whether being used in a pediatric setting or for adult interventional radiology, the height flexibility ensures the 0.5mm PbEq protection is always aligned with the radiation field. The post itself is constructed from hardened steel to ensure the locking mechanism does not degrade over years of high-frequency use.

The shield is encased in a heavy-duty, fluid-resistant nylon cover that is designed to withstand the rigorous disinfection protocols of surgical and diagnostic suites. This material is non-porous and can be cleaned with standard hospital-grade disinfectants and wipes to maintain a sterile environment. The use of reinforced ripstop nylon prevents tearing and abrasion, ensuring that the internal leaded vinyl core remains protected from environmental contaminants. For the hardware components, the hardened chrome post and steel base require minimal maintenance beyond periodic inspections of the caster locks. Because the shield is 100% latex-free, it is safe for use in all clinical environments without the risk of allergic reactions for patients or staff.

This product typically ships within 1 to 2 weeks, accommodating the rapid procurement needs of expanding medical facilities and government laboratories. Phillips Safety provides a one-year manufacturer’s warranty that covers all defects in material and workmanship for the frame and fixtures. This warranty ensures that institutional buyers are protected against structural failures in the H-base or the Posi-Lock mechanism under normal operational conditions. For large-scale procurement, the product is assigned specific SKUs (LB-MB-3636 and LB-MB-4848) to streamline the ordering and inventory management process. This comprehensive support package reflects the brand's 115-year history in the safety and optical industry.
