Phillips Safety Mobile Leaded Barrier | 2.0mm PbEq Protection with 12" x 10" Viewing Window

The Phillips Safety Mobile Leaded Barrier provides 2.0mm Pb lead equivalency, which is four times the protection of standard 0.5mm barriers, making it ideal for high-scatter procedures like fluoroscopy. This density is achieved through 1/16" lead sheeting and high-density lead glass, ensuring that the transmitted dose to personnel remains well below regulatory limits. By utilizing a 2.0mm PbEq shield, facilities can more easily adhere to ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) safety protocols for their staff. This level of attenuation is particularly important in interventional radiology and orthopedic surgery where clinicians remain in the room during active imaging. Ultimately, this higher rating provides an increased safety margin that accommodates both current and future imaging technology power outputs.

The 12" x 10" window is strategically sized to provide focused optical clarity while maximizing the structural integrity and shielding surface area of the solid opaque panel. This "viewport" style window allows technicians to maintain the necessary visual contact with the patient and equipment monitors while standing in the protected radiation shadow. Because lead glass is heavier and more fragile than leaded steel, a smaller window reduces the center of gravity and minimizes the risk of glass breakage during transport. For procedures requiring a more expansive field of view, Phillips Safety offers larger window configurations, but this model is the professional choice for focused monitoring in space-constrained suites. This design ensures that optical transparency is balanced with high-density physical protection.

This barrier features a compact overall width of 27.5 inches, allowing it to navigate narrow hospital corridors and fit between densely packed diagnostic equipment with ease. The slim profile is specifically engineered for facilities where floor space is at a premium, such as private clinics, dental surgery suites, or older hospital wings. Despite its narrow width, the 75-inch height ensures full vertical shielding for personnel, protecting from the head to the floor. The four swivel locking casters enable the unit to rotate on its own axis, making it much easier to position than larger, bulkier barriers. This footprint provides institutional-grade protection without requiring the square footage of a permanent lead-lined wall.

The powder-coated steel frame is designed for extreme durability and longevity, significantly lowering the TCO compared to lighter plastic or aluminum alternatives. This finish is resistant to the corrosive effects of harsh hospital-grade disinfectants and the physical impacts common in high-traffic medical settings. By preventing rust and structural degradation, the steel frame ensures the internal lead sheeting remains securely positioned for years of service. Furthermore, the medical-grade swivel casters are replaceable, allowing the facility to extend the life of the barrier even after thousands of hours of mobility. This robust construction makes the barrier a high-ROI asset that outlasts cheaper, less durable shielding solutions.

Yes, this mobile barrier is 100% latex-free and constructed with non-porous materials that satisfy the most stringent infection control and sanitation standards. The smooth surfaces of the powder-coated steel and the lead glass viewing window are easy to wipe down using quaternary ammonium or bleach-free disinfectants. This is critical for preventing cross-contamination in surgical suites and high-turnover diagnostic rooms where multiple patients are seen daily. The lack of latex components ensures that the equipment is safe for use in all patient populations and among all staff members, regardless of sensitivities. These features ensure the barrier is a safe, compliant, and easy-to-maintain addition to any institutional safety inventory.
