The core function of lead blanket
1.Radiation shielding of lead blanket:
Lead has a high atomic number (82) and high density (11.34 g/cm ³), which can effectively absorb or scatter X-rays and gamma rays, reducing radiation penetration rate. For example, a lead blanket with a lead equivalent of 0.5mm can block over 90% of low-energy scattered radiation.
2.Local protection of lead blanket:
designed to cover sensitive areas (such as thyroid and gonads), paired with lead bibs, lead glasses, etc. to form a multi-level protection system, reducing the cumulative radiation dose of medical staff or patients.

Application scenarios of lead blankets
1.Lead blankets in the medical field:
CT room is used to protect non examination areas (such as the patient's gonads) or the trunk of medical staff during interventional surgery. And during tumor radiotherapy, blocking healthy tissue and concentrating radiation on the tumor area.
2.Lead blankets in industrial and nuclear facilities:
Temporary shielding walls or equipment protection in places such as nuclear power plants and laboratories.
What are the safety precautions for lead blankets?
Safety precautions for lead blankets
Regular testing: The lead blanket may experience wear or breakage of the lead layer, and its protective performance needs to be tested annually using X-ray fluoroscopy.
.Proper wearing: Ensure complete coverage of the target area and seamless seams; Lightweight design can reduce muscle fatigue caused by prolonged use.
Special population: Pregnant women or those preparing for pregnancy should use reinforced lead blankets to avoid fetal radiation exposure.
