Radiation shielding head wear protects healthcare workers and operators from harmful radiation exposure during medical imaging or treatment procedures. These devices, often designed as caps or hoods, are worn to block primary and scattered radiation, reducing long-term health risks like cancer or tissue damage.
Such devices are typically regulated as personal protective equipment (PPE) and may require compliance with radiation safety standards. They are usually supplied as single-use or reusable items, depending on material construction, and are classified based on their intended radiation attenuation properties rather than a fixed regulatory class.
