Radiation-shielding procedure preparation gloves or mittens are protective devices designed to safeguard healthcare workers’ hands during the setup and positioning of patients for radiological procedures. They block primary and scattered radiation exposure, ensuring safety while preparing for diagnostic or therapeutic imaging without compromising sterility or workflow.
These devices are typically single-use, made with lead or lead-equivalent materials, and may feature fluid resistance for added protection. They are regulated as personal protective equipment (PPE) and are not intended for direct patient contact during treatment or examination—only for pre-procedure tasks.
