Phillips Safety Tilted Mobile Leaded Barrier with 30" x 24" Ergonomic Viewing Window

The tilted geometry of this barrier allows clinicians to position the shielding window directly over the patient workspace, reducing the physical distance between the doctor and the procedural site. In interventional radiology and pain management, a standard vertical shield often forces the clinician to stand further back, which can compromise tactile precision or visual alignment. By allowing the upper 1.6mm Pb section to overhang, the barrier provides superior upper-body protection while the clinician leans forward. This ergonomic improvement reduces back strain for the medical team during long procedures. Consequently, the barrier supports both staff safety and the technical accuracy required for complex imaging-guided tasks.

This mobile barrier provides a uniform 1.6mm (1/16") Pb lead equivalency across both the opaque lower panel and the leaded glass viewing window. This rating is the industry benchmark for diagnostic X-ray shielding, designed to attenuate primary and secondary scatter radiation in high-use environments. Procurement officers should note that the materials used are certified to meet or exceed NCRP standards for medical radiation protection. The consistency of the 1.6mm rating ensures there are no "leakage points" at the transition between the frame and the glass. This makes the unit a reliable component of any facility’s ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) safety program.

Yes, the frame is treated with a high-durability, medical-grade powder coating specifically formulated to withstand frequent exposure to isopropyl alcohol, bleach, and quaternary ammonium cleaners. In sterile institutional environments, equipment must be sanitized between every patient to prevent cross-contamination, which can lead to corrosion on inferior finishes. The non-porous surface of the Phillips Safety frame ensures that pathogens cannot be trapped, facilitating rapid and thorough infection control protocols. The leaded glass window is similarly resistant to fogging or staining from standard cleaning agents. This durability ensures the barrier remains a clean, professional, and functional asset in the surgical suite for years.

The barrier is equipped with four heavy-duty, medical-grade swivel casters designed for smooth, quiet transport across linoleum, tile, and low-pile hospital carpeting. These casters feature non-marring treads that protect specialized floor coatings from scuffing or damage during repositioning. The dual-lock braking system is a critical safety feature, as it secures both the wheel rotation and the swivel direction simultaneously. This prevents the barrier from "drifting" during sensitive procedures where maintaining a precise shielding geometry is vital. Facility managers will find that the low rolling resistance makes the unit easily maneuverable even in the tightest clinical corridors.

This unit is shipped via LTL freight in a custom-built, reinforced wooden crate to protect the 30" x 24" leaded glass window from structural stress or impact during transit. Due to the specialized tilted design and the weight of the 1.6mm Pb shielding, the unit is typically shipped nearly fully assembled to ensure structural integrity. Upon arrival, the facility’s maintenance or clinical engineering team may only need to perform a final inspection and attach the casters to the pre-weighted base. It is recommended that two people handle the uncrating process due to the top-heavy nature of the tilted glass section. This professional shipping protocol ensures the barrier is clinical-ready immediately upon delivery to the hospital or imaging center.
