Phillips Safety Model 100 Lead Radiation Glasses | Classic High-Protection Eyewear for Medical Imaging

The Model 100 radiation safety glasses feature high-index Schott SF-6 leaded glass lenses that provide a certified 0.75mm Pb lead equivalence. This specific lens composition is engineered to attenuate 99% of scatter radiation while maintaining exceptional optical clarity for the wearer. The SF-6 glass used in these lenses is the industry gold standard for shielding against ionizing radiation in medical imaging settings. By utilizing this high-density material, the glasses offer a consistent protective barrier that does not degrade over time like some synthetic alternatives. This technical specification ensures that clinical staff are protected during high-dose procedures in cardiology or orthopedic suites.

These radiation glasses are fully compliant with ANSI Z87.1 and CE standards, ensuring they meet the rigorous safety mandates required for clinical use. Meeting these certifications allows hospital procurement officers to fulfill occupational health requirements and pass mandatory radiation safety audits with confidence. The Model 100 is specifically tested to withstand the demands of interventional radiology and fluoroscopy environments where secondary radiation is a constant risk. Adhering to these global standards provides a layer of liability protection for the institution while prioritizing worker health. This regulatory alignment makes the Model 100 a trusted asset for any modern medical facility.

The Model 100 frame is a versatile platform that can be fully customized with digital surfacing for single vision, bifocal, and progressive prescription (Rx) lenses. This scalability allows facility managers to standardize their personal protective equipment (PPE) while catering to the specific vision needs of individual surgeons and technicians. Every prescription lens is manufactured using the same 0.75mm Pb leaded glass to ensure that protection remains uniform across the entire lens surface. Standardizing on a high-performance frame like the Model 100 simplifies the logistical burden of managing varied eyewear for a large medical staff. This adaptability ensures that your safety program can grow and evolve alongside your clinical team.

The Model 100 is constructed from durable, high-impact materials designed to resist the mechanical stresses and chemical cleaning agents common in sterile environments. This robust build quality significantly extends the operational lifespan of the eyewear, leading to a much lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to budget-grade alternatives. By reducing the frequency of replacement due to frame breakage or lens pitting, hospitals can better allocate their annual safety budgets. The classic, ergonomic design also ensures high user compliance, which prevents costly workplace injuries related to radiation exposure. Investing in premium leaded eyewear like the Model 100 provides a reliable, long-term return on your institutional safety expenditure.

While the Model 100 features a classic rectangular profile, it is designed with integrated leaded side shields to provide critical lateral protection against scatter radiation. These side shields are matched to the 0.75mm Pb lead equivalence of the main lenses to ensure a seamless protective barrier around the eyes. This design is essential for specialists who are positioned at angles where peripheral X-ray exposure is a significant concern. The wrap-around protection helps mitigate the cumulative dose received by the crystalline lens of the eye over a clinician’s career. By providing 180 degrees of shielding, the Model 100 offers a comprehensive solution for staff working in close proximity to the X-ray source.
