Phillips Safety Mobile Leaded Barrier | 2.0mm PbEq Protection with 24" x 12" Viewing Window

The 2.0mm Pb lead equivalency provides four times the attenuation of standard 0.5mm barriers, significantly reducing the effective dose from scatter radiation in high-output environments. This higher density is essential for interventional radiology and busy orthopedic suites where clinicians are frequently exposed to secondary X-ray beams. By utilizing 1/16" solid lead sheeting and specialized high-density lead glass, this barrier provides a robust safety margin that ensures compliance with the most stringent ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) protocols. Choosing a 2.0mm PbEq shield is a long-term safety investment that protects personnel better than lower-grade clinical alternatives. This rating is specifically validated for the energy levels found in diagnostic and fluoroscopic imaging.

The 27.5" overall width (24" panel width) is engineered specifically for narrow clinical environments and point-of-care imaging where floor space is limited. While compact, the 75-inch total height ensures that the radiation shadow covers the full vertical profile of a standing or seated technician. This footprint allows for easy maneuverability through standard hospital doorways and between patient beds or diagnostic equipment. For facilities with wider procedure areas, multiple units can be aligned to create a modular protective wall. This specific width-to-height ratio is optimized for maximum portability without compromising the 2.0mm PbEq shielding integrity.

The barrier is designed for high-frequency institutional use with minimal maintenance, requiring only periodic cleaning and caster inspections. The powder-coated steel frame is highly resistant to corrosion and the harsh chemical disinfectants used in terminal cleaning protocols. Casters should be checked monthly for debris or hair accumulation to ensure the 360-degree swivel remains smooth and the locking mechanism functions correctly. The lead glass viewing window should be cleaned with non-abrasive, pH-neutral solutions to prevent scratching and maintain optical clarity. Because the unit is 100% latex-free and uses non-porous materials, it integrates seamlessly into hospital infection control programs.

Yes, the barrier is mounted on four medical-grade, high-capacity swivel casters that are specifically rated for the unit's 2.0mm PbEq weight. These casters feature low-friction bearings that allow a single technician to reposition the shield with minimal effort, even on hospital-grade flooring. Each caster includes a locking mechanism that provides rock-solid stability once the barrier is positioned in the radiation field. This mobility is a critical operational feature, allowing safety equipment to adapt to the dynamic workflow of a trauma center or surgical suite. The balance between heavy shielding and light mobility is achieved through a weighted base design that maintains a low center of gravity.

The Phillips Safety Mobile Leaded Barrier offers an exceptional TCO by providing a decade-plus service life through its use of industrial steel and high-density lead glass. Unlike lightweight plastic barriers that may crack or lose structural integrity, this steel-framed unit withstands the physical impacts common in high-traffic medical settings. The mobility of the unit means it can be shared between different imaging rooms, reducing the need for multiple fixed shielding installations. Its high 2.0mm PbEq rating also ensures it will remain compliant with safety regulations even as imaging equipment is upgraded to higher power levels. This makes it a high-ROI asset for procurement officers seeking durable, versatile, and high-performance radiation safety equipment.
