Phillips Safety Mobile Leaded Barrier | 2.0mm PbEq Protection with 24" x 20" Viewing Window

The Phillips Safety Mobile Leaded Barrier provides 2.0mm Pb lead equivalency, which is four times the protection offered by standard lightweight clinical shields. This higher density is specifically engineered to attenuate the high-energy scatter radiation encountered in interventional radiology, fluoroscopy, and CT suites. By utilizing 1/16" solid lead sheeting and specialized high-density lead glass, the barrier ensures a much lower transmitted dose to personnel, aiding in strict ALARA compliance. This rating is particularly critical for staff who must remain in the imaging room for long durations or multiple procedures daily. Choosing a 2.0mm PbEq barrier is a proactive step in minimizing occupational radiation exposure.

The 27.5" overall width (24" panel width) is optimized for precision shielding in narrow or crowded medical environments where space is at a premium. While compact, the 75-inch total height ensures full vertical coverage, protecting the technician from head to floor while standing in the radiation shadow. This slim footprint allows for easy navigation through standard hospital doorways and provides a protective barrier between equipment without obstructing the workflow. For procedures requiring a wider protected zone, multiple units can be seamlessly aligned to create a modular shielding wall. This design prioritizes mobility and situational placement without sacrificing the high-density protection levels required by health physics standards.

The barrier is constructed with a heavy-duty powder-coated steel frame and certified high-density lead glass to ensure a decade-plus service life. The powder coating is a resilient, chip-resistant finish that protects the structural steel from the corrosive effects of harsh hospital-grade disinfectants and frequent cleaning cycles. Unlike acrylic or plastic alternatives, lead glass maintains superior optical clarity over time without yellowing or crazing. The internal lead sheeting is securely bonded to the steel structure, preventing any sagging or displacement that could lead to shielding gaps. This industrial-grade construction is specifically designed to withstand the physical impacts common in 24/7 high-traffic medical facilities.

Yes, this mobile barrier is 100% latex-free and features smooth, non-porous surfaces that are fully compatible with institutional infection control protocols. The powder-coated steel and lead glass can be safely sanitized using standard quaternary ammonium or bleach-free wipes without damaging the materials. The medical-grade casters are designed for clean-room use and do not track debris, ensuring the barrier remains a hygienic addition to surgical or diagnostic suites. Regular maintenance simply involves wiping the glass with a non-abrasive cleaner to maintain optimal visibility for patient monitoring. These sanitation features make the barrier a reliable asset for infection control managers overseeing high-acuity departments.

The Phillips Safety Mobile Leaded Barrier offers an exceptional TCO by providing a versatile, long-lasting safety solution that reduces the need for frequent equipment replacement. Because the unit is mobile, it can be shared between different imaging rooms, potentially eliminating the need for expensive permanent lead-lined wall modifications in every suite. Its 2.0mm PbEq rating ensures that the barrier will remain compliant even if the facility upgrades to more powerful imaging technology in the future. The use of high-durability steel and replaceable medical casters ensures that maintenance costs remain low throughout the product’s lifecycle. For procurement officers, this represents a high-ROI investment in occupational safety and facility flexibility.
