Lead Aprons & Shields in Angola
Available Lead Aprons & Shields Models

Lead aprons and shields are essential pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to safeguard medical professionals from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation during diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures. Composed of a dense material, typically lead rubber or lead-impregnated polymers, these garments effectively attenuate (reduce) the intensity of X-rays and gamma rays, thereby minimizing radiation exposure to critical organs such as the thyroid, gonads, and bone marrow. Their construction varies, ranging from full-body aprons to thyroid shields and gonad protectors, allowing for tailored protection based on the specific procedure and the operator's position.

In Angola, ensuring the safety of medical professionals and patients from ionizing radiation is paramount. Various healthcare facilities and specific departments rely heavily on lead aprons and shields to mitigate radiation exposure during diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures. The type and volume of procedures performed directly influence the demand for these essential protective garments.

Ensuring the proper installation of lead aprons and shields is crucial for maximizing radiation protection in your Angolan medical facility. Our dedicated team adheres to a rigorous installation process, from initial site preparation to final calibration, guaranteeing optimal performance and safety for your staff and patients.

Site Preparation

Before delivery, a thorough site assessment will be conducted to ensure the designated installation area meets all necessary specifications. This includes:

• Verifying sufficient space for the apron or shield's intended use and any necessary maneuvering.

• Confirming structural integrity of walls and mounting points, especially for larger shielding systems.

• Assessing electrical and ventilation requirements, if applicable to the specific product.

• Clearing the area of any obstructions that may impede the installation process.

Delivery And Unpacking

Our logistics team ensures secure and timely delivery of your lead aprons and shields directly to your Angolan facility. Upon arrival, our certified technicians will carefully unpack all components, conducting an initial visual inspection to confirm the integrity and completeness of the shipment.

Installation Steps

The installation process is carried out by experienced professionals, following manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices:

• Positioning: Lead aprons will be hung on designated racks or stored appropriately, while shields will be precisely positioned according to the planned layout.

• Mounting (if applicable): For fixed shielding solutions, secure mounting to walls or other structures will be performed using appropriate hardware.

• Integration: Any integrated components, such as sliding mechanisms or door seals, will be carefully assembled and tested.

• Final Adjustments: All elements will be meticulously aligned and adjusted to ensure smooth operation and a tight fit for maximum protection.

Calibration And Testing

Upon completion of the physical installation, a comprehensive calibration and testing phase will commence. This critical step ensures that your lead aprons and shields provide the intended level of radiation attenuation. Our technicians will perform:

• Fit Testing: For protective apparel, we ensure a proper and comfortable fit for individual staff members.

• Seal Verification: For shielding, we rigorously test all seals and joints to confirm there are no gaps where radiation could escape.

• Mobility Checks: If your system involves moving parts, their ease of operation and secure locking mechanisms will be verified.

• Performance Assessment: While not involving live radiation in most cases, we will utilize manufacturer-specified methods and visual checks to confirm the product's integrity and readiness for use.

Upon successful completion of the installation and calibration, our team will provide a detailed handover and any necessary operational training to your staff, ensuring you are fully equipped to utilize your new radiation protection solutions effectively and safely.

The cost of lead aprons and shields in Angola can vary significantly based on several factors, including the specific type of apron or shield (e.g., full-body, thyroid collar, gonadal shield), the material density and lead equivalency, the manufacturer, and the size and features required. While precise figures fluctuate with market conditions and specific supplier offerings, prospective buyers can generally expect to see pricing in Angolan Kwanza (AOA). Smaller, more basic items like thyroid collars might start in the range of AOA 20,000 to AOA 50,000. Standard lead aprons, offering moderate protection, are typically found between AOA 60,000 and AOA 150,000. For higher-density materials, advanced designs, or full-coverage solutions such as lead skirts and vests, prices can escalate from AOA 160,000 up to AOA 350,000 or more. It's crucial to obtain direct quotes from reputable medical equipment suppliers operating within Angola for the most accurate and current pricing tailored to your specific needs.
