Buy Lead Gloves in Nigeria.

Where can I buy lead gloves in Nigeria?

Review the two product cards in Franance's Lead Gloves category, then send a quotation order identifying the selected reference, quantity, intended setting and Nigerian facility destination. Franance currently lists Protech ANGIO angiographic lead gloves and Protech Proguard RR gloves. The filtered links help a procurement team identify the exact catalogue family before it asks for a quote.

For a useful response, provide the procedure environment, the facility-approved use and specification, glove size or fit requirements, sterile or non-sterile requirement, quantity and any manufacturer documents that must accompany the order. Include the facility name and full delivery address, including city and state. Franance will follow up by phone or email to clarify the request and return a written quotation. Confirm the exact product, price, availability and delivery terms in that response before approving an order.

The catalogue shows two assigned products; it does not establish that all glove styles or sizes offered by Protech are in the Franance range. The broader Radiation Protection category includes separate equipment such as aprons, thyroid shields, eyewear and room or table shielding. None should be assumed to be included with a pair of gloves.

Which lead gloves does Franance list?

The first listing is Protech Medical ANGIO Angiographic Lead Gloves. The manufacturer describes a non-sterile pair made with lead oxide, vinyl and leatherette fabric; its product page lists one size, latex-free and powder-free construction, and a 0.50 mm Pb lead-equivalence value. It says the gloves are intended as an attenuating barrier against scattered secondary radiation during fluoroscopic procedures and are not intended for a direct or primary X-ray beam. Check the exact ANGIO product information from Protech and ask for the current instructions and supporting documents with any proposed quotation.

The second listing is Protech Medical Proguard RR Gloves, a family with the RR1, RR2 and RR3 attenuation variants. Protech describes lead oxide and dry natural rubber, latex-free and powder-free construction, ethylene-oxide sterilization, hand-specific design and single-use packaging. Its current product page lists the values as RR1 0.025 mm Pb, RR2 0.031 mm Pb and RR3 0.040 mm Pb, each at 60 kVp. The page also provides model-specific attenuation data at 60, 90 and 120 kVp. These are manufacturer-reported results for the specified test conditions, not a universal dose-reduction promise for a wearer or procedure. See Protech's current Proguard RR details.

Both are currently assigned to this category and to Protech Medical. They are not identical products: ANGIO is listed as non-sterile and one-size, while RR is listed as sterile and has model and size selections. Confirm the exact model variant, size, quantity and packaging on the written offer. The live catalogue does not establish current Nigerian availability or which particular variant Franance can supply for a given order.

What does the lead-equivalence value tell me?

Lead equivalence is a model- and test-condition-specific way of describing attenuation relative to lead. It should be read together with the manufacturer, glove construction, stated tube potential, applicable test method and intended use. Do not compare two numbers as if they predict the same protection in every beam quality, geometry or clinical task. IAEA Safety Guide SSG-46 says the lead equivalence of protective equipment should be specified at the maximum operating X-ray tube potential applicable to its intended use; it also recommends that the RPO or medical physicist provide expert advice on personal protective equipment.

For the listed products, the Protech page states 0.50 mm Pb for the ANGIO glove and values at 60 kVp for each RR variant. The RR page separately displays attenuation measurements at several tube potentials. Keep these statements attached to their exact product and test basis. A catalogue value is not a selection recommendation, occupational dose forecast, proof of fitness for a particular procedure or a guarantee of clinical outcome.

Ask the quotation to name the exact glove and variant, the manufacturer value and its test conditions, applicable reports or instructions, size and package unit. If the written offer omits a value, changes a material or proposes a substitute, send it to the facility's radiation-safety reviewer before procurement approval. Franance can help request the model and documentation; the facility's responsible professionals determine whether the specification fits its work.

Can lead gloves be used in the primary X-ray beam?

No. The manufacturer explicitly says the listed ANGIO gloves are not intended for use in a direct or primary X-ray beam; the Proguard RR product information likewise excludes direct-beam use. A glove rating does not authorize a worker's hand to enter the primary beam. Plan the work so staff avoid direct exposure, following the facility's procedures and the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

IAEA SSG-46 states that staff should never be subject to direct beam exposure and discusses avoiding hand placement in the beam during image-guided interventional procedures. Protective gloves do not make an unsafe beam position acceptable. If the work requires unusual hand proximity, pause the purchase decision and have the RPO or medical physicist examine the task, equipment geometry and safer procedural arrangements.

The manufacturer also says ANGIO gloves are not designed to protect against cuts, punctures, heat or fire. They are radiation-attenuating equipment, not general-purpose medical examination or cut-resistant gloves. Proguard RR is likewise a specific protective product and should not be treated as interchangeable with a standard sterile surgical glove. Follow the current product instructions for the exact model.

Can radiation-attenuating gloves make fluoroscopy less safe?

They can be counterproductive in some circumstances, which is why the intended task and system must be assessed before purchase. IAEA SSG-46 warns that when gloves enter the area covered by an automatic brightness control (ABC) or automatic dose-rate control (ADRC) sensor, the system may drive exposure higher for both staff and patient while failing to protect the hands effectively. It also notes that leaded gloves may reduce tactile sensitivity and prolong a procedure, making their value questionable in some workflows.

This caution is especially important where staff work close to the patient during fluoroscopy. It does not mean that every glove has the same characteristics or that a general buying page can decide whether one is appropriate. The manufacturer's feature language should not replace independent review of the use, sensor geometry, hand position, glove fit, tactile demands and available barriers. The facility's RPO or medical physicist should make that assessment with the clinical team.

IAEA guidance also describes other controls and devices, including table-mounted lead curtains and ceiling-mounted protective screens for image-guided interventional rooms. These are distinct from hand-worn gloves and are not included in this category. See the wider radiation-protection range when preparing a broader equipment schedule.

How do sterile and non-sterile glove options differ?

Sterility is a decisive procurement requirement, not a detail to infer from the words “radiation glove.” Protech lists ANGIO as non-sterile. It lists Proguard RR as sterilized using ethylene oxide, with single-use packaging and sizes. If a sterile field is involved, the clinical and infection-prevention team must confirm that the precise item and its packaging suit the facility's procedure before a quote order is approved. A catalogue category assignment cannot turn a non-sterile glove into a sterile one.

For RR, state the size and variant requested and ask the quotation to identify the pack configuration. Protech's current page describes a pouch of one pair, a box of five pairs and a carton of twenty pairs. Those manufacturer package descriptions do not confirm which pack is locally available or will be quoted. For ANGIO, the manufacturer describes sale as a pair and one-size sizing. Ask whether the fit is acceptable for the intended users; do not assume “one size” means a verified fit for every wearer.

Request current instructions for use and packaging details. For multi-user procurement, provide a size-by-quantity schedule rather than one estimated total. If sterile and non-sterile variants are both under consideration, keep their requirements and quantities on separate lines so that the written offer cannot confuse them.

How should I compare fit, handling and use requirements?

The selected glove must fit the wearer and support the task while preserving the facility's approved radiation-safety workflow. Protech describes RR as hand-specific and lists size variants; its product page provides model codes paired with size codes. ANGIO is listed as one size. Request the exact current sizing instructions and confirm which size or pair is proposed for each user. Do not choose by an online photograph or assume a size code has the same dimensions across manufacturers.

Discuss dexterity and tactile needs with the staff who perform the procedure. IAEA identifies reduced tactile sensitivity as one reason that leaded gloves may be questionable in some fluoroscopy procedures. The manufacturer's description of RR as highly tactile is a product claim, not evidence that it preserves the precision required for a particular task. An evaluation by the user and the facility's safety professionals should consider work sequence, grip, instrument handling and whether glove use changes exposure-control behavior.

Check what the product is and is not: ANGIO is a non-sterile radiation glove, not a cut-resistant glove; RR is a sterile single-use variant as described by the manufacturer, not permission to reuse it. Confirm the exact materials, allergens, packaging, expiry or shelf-life documentation and storage requirements against current instructions supplied for the proposed configuration. The guide does not claim that either product is appropriate for every fluoroscopy, cath lab, interventional, radiology or surgical task.

How should protective gloves be inspected, stored and disposed of?

Follow the current manufacturer instructions for the exact product and the facility's written radiation-safety and infection-prevention procedures. Before use, check the packaging and product identity, sterility status where relevant, size, expiry or shelf-life marking where supplied, and any visible damage. Do not use a punctured or otherwise damaged glove. A visual check does not establish attenuation or substitute for product-specific acceptance documentation.

Protech's ANGIO instructions say to store the gloves in a cool, dry, ozone-free place below 35°C, away from direct sunlight, and to avoid sharp objects because punctures can allow radiation to pass through. Protech states ANGIO contains lead and should be disposed of under hazardous-waste procedures in accordance with local law; it advises against incineration. Follow the current instructions and local waste rules rather than treating this as a universal disposal plan for all glove materials.

Proguard RR is described by the manufacturer as sterile and single-use. Follow the exact packaging and instructions for use; do not reuse a single-use item. Keep unopened stock in the specified conditions and follow the manufacturer's labeling and facility inventory controls. Have infection-prevention, occupational health and radiation-safety leads resolve any uncertainty about handling, storage or disposal before ordering. Franance can request the relevant current manufacturer documents for review as part of the quotation process.

What should I include in a Nigeria lead-glove quotation request?

Send Franance a clear order brief that includes:

- The exact product: ANGIO or Proguard RR, plus RR1, RR2 or RR3 where applicable.
- Intended work area and procedure context, with the approved use and specification from the facility's RPO or medical physicist.
- Required sterility status, sizes, pairs or boxes, and the quantity schedule by size and variant.
- Required current instructions, attenuation reports, product and packaging documentation, and any procurement acceptance documents.
- Facility name, full delivery address, city and state, receiving contact, and any site or tender requirements.
- Requested quotation validity, delivery or project dates, and any separately required shielding items. List aprons, thyroid shields, eyewear or barriers separately; do not assume they come with gloves.

Ask the written offer to identify the manufacturer, exact reference, variant, size, pack unit, sterility, included documents, exclusions, availability, price validity, taxes, shipping and delivery terms. Ask Franance to call or email if a requested configuration needs clarification. Have the radiation-safety reviewer check the offered product against the approved requirement before the organisation approves the quote order.

You can begin with the ANGIO filtered listing or the Proguard RR filtered listing, then request a Franance quote order. Franance does not take online payment for these products; the team follows up by phone or email.

What affects lead-glove prices in Nigeria?

There is no verified Nigerian starting price in this category guide. The final written quotation depends on the exact model and variant, size, sterility, package quantity, requested documentation, order volume and confirmed delivery destination. Do not use a foreign-market price or an unrelated model's price as a Nigerian offer. Ask Franance to confirm the quoted currency, taxes, validity period, availability, shipping and delivery timing for the specific facility.

The category's two products have different configurations, so compare only offers that clearly state the same requested item and scope. For Proguard RR, a quote should name RR1, RR2 or RR3 and each size and pack count. For ANGIO, confirm the one-size non-sterile reference and pair quantity. If the seller proposes an alternative, ask for its exact identity, instructions and technical documents, then obtain facility approval before treating it as equivalent.

Franance's role is to help Nigerian healthcare buyers identify the catalogue item and request the necessary quotation information. No claim is made here about stock in Lagos, Abuja or any other city, local dealership, import status, delivery promise, warranty or service coverage. Those are transaction-specific details to confirm in writing. Submit the full destination and procurement schedule with your enquiry so Franance can respond to the actual requirement.

Does Franance sell lead gloves online?

No. Franance accepts quotation orders rather than online payment. Choose the relevant product listing, specify the exact reference and approved requirements, and submit an enquiry. The Franance team follows up by phone or email with a written quotation. Review its model, configuration, price, availability and delivery terms before placing an order.

For a complete request, include the product name and variant, size schedule, sterility requirement, quantity, intended environment, requested documents and facility destination. For any technical uncertainty, have the RPO or medical physicist decide the specification before asking for a quote. The listing supports product discovery; it does not replace the facility's risk assessment, procedural controls or regulatory review.
