Lead Aprons & Shields in Mozambique
Available Lead Aprons & Shields Models

Lead aprons and shields are essential radiation protection garments and barriers designed to safeguard healthcare professionals and patients from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. These items are fabricated using high-density materials, primarily lead, known for its exceptional ability to absorb X-rays and gamma rays. When employed during diagnostic imaging procedures, such as X-rays, CT scans, fluoroscopy, and interventional radiology, they effectively attenuate scattered radiation, significantly reducing cumulative exposure.

The primary function of lead aprons and shields is to create a physical barrier between the radiation source and sensitive organs or tissues. This protection is crucial for individuals who are repeatedly exposed to radiation in clinical settings, including radiographers, radiologists, physicians, and nurses. For patients, lead shielding can be strategically placed to protect organs not being imaged, thereby minimizing unnecessary radiation dose.

In Mozambique, ensuring the safety of both medical professionals and patients during diagnostic and therapeutic imaging procedures is paramount. Lead aprons and shields are essential personal protective equipment (PPE) for facilities where ionizing radiation is utilized. This includes a wide range of healthcare settings, from large national teaching hospitals to smaller regional clinics and specialized diagnostic centers.

The need for robust radiation shielding is particularly acute in departments that regularly employ X-ray, fluoroscopy, CT scanning, and other forms of radiologic imaging.

Ensuring the effective and safe installation of lead aprons and shields is paramount for radiation protection in healthcare facilities across Mozambique. Our comprehensive installation process is designed to be efficient, thorough, and compliant with all relevant safety standards. From initial site assessment to final calibration, we manage every step to guarantee optimal performance and longevity of your radiation shielding solutions.

The cost of lead aprons and shields in Mozambique can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of product, its specifications, brand, and the supplier. As a general guideline, you can expect to find prices ranging from approximately MZN 10,000 to MZN 40,000 or more for standard lead aprons. More specialized or higher-protection shields, such as those used in interventional radiology or for specific equipment, could fall into the higher end of this spectrum or even exceed it.

Factors influencing these prices include:

• Material Thickness and Density: Lead equivalency (e.g., 0.25mm Pb, 0.50mm Pb) is a primary cost driver. Higher lead equivalency offers greater protection but comes at a higher price.
• Product Type and Size: Full-body aprons, thyroid shields, gonadal shields, and protective panels all have different material requirements and therefore different price points. Larger or custom-sized items will also be more expensive.
• Brand and Manufacturer: Reputable international brands often command higher prices than local or less established manufacturers.
• Features and Design: Aprons with features like Velcro closures, adjustable straps, or integrated vests can influence the cost.
• Supplier and Import Costs: Prices can differ between medical supply distributors, direct importers, and retailers. Import duties, taxes, and shipping costs to Mozambique will also be factored into the final price.

For precise pricing, it is highly recommended to contact local medical equipment suppliers and radiation protection specialists directly. They can provide accurate quotes based on your specific needs and the current market conditions in Mozambique.
