Thyroid Shield in Uganda
Leading Thyroid Shield Supplier

A Thyroid Shield is a crucial piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) specifically designed to safeguard the thyroid gland from ionizing radiation. Typically constructed from leaded rubber or other high-density radiopaque materials, these shields are engineered to attenuate (reduce) the dose of radiation absorbed by the thyroid, particularly during diagnostic imaging procedures and certain interventional radiology or cardiology treatments. In Uganda's burgeoning healthcare sector, where advanced imaging technologies are increasingly vital for accurate diagnosis, the Thyroid Shield plays an indispensable role in ensuring the safety of both patients and medical professionals exposed to X-rays, CT scans, and fluoroscopy.

In Uganda, effective radiation protection is paramount across a range of healthcare facilities and medical disciplines. Thyroid shields are critical for safeguarding healthcare professionals and, in specific diagnostic and therapeutic scenarios, patients, from harmful scatter radiation during various imaging and interventional procedures. While primarily a tool for personnel protection, their application extends to specialized patient care.

Ensuring the correct and efficient installation of your new thyroid shield is paramount for optimal radiation protection during medical procedures in Uganda. Our dedicated team, working in close collaboration with your facility's technical staff, follows a meticulous process designed for seamless integration and immediate readiness. This process typically involves site preparation, secure delivery, precise installation, and thorough calibration.

The cost of a thyroid shield in Uganda can vary significantly depending on whether you are purchasing a brand-new unit or a refurbished one. These essential pieces of radiation protection equipment are critical for safeguarding patients and medical professionals during X-ray and CT scan procedures. When budgeting for these supplies, it's important to consider the following price ranges, which can fluctuate based on the supplier, brand, materials used, and specific features.

For brand-new thyroid shields, you can typically expect to invest between UGX 350,000 and UGX 900,000. This price reflects the latest advancements in protective materials, superior comfort features, and compliance with current international safety standards. Higher-end models might include advanced lead-free composites or more ergonomic designs, pushing the price towards the upper end of this range.

Refurbished thyroid shields offer a more budget-friendly alternative. These units have been previously used but have undergone thorough inspection, cleaning, and any necessary repairs to ensure they meet safety and functionality requirements. The price for a quality refurbished thyroid shield generally falls between UGX 180,000 and UGX 450,000. While offering significant savings, it's crucial to purchase refurbished items from reputable suppliers who can provide assurance of their condition and protective efficacy.

When making your decision, consider the total cost of ownership, the expected lifespan of the equipment, and the specific radiation protection needs of your facility. It is always advisable to obtain quotes from multiple suppliers to compare options and secure the best value for your investment.
