Sleeve Compliance
Intended Use: To protect the user’s arms from scattered secondary radiation originating from the X-ray beam during fluoroscopic procedures by providing an attenuating barrier to radiation. They are not intended for use in direct or primary X-ray beams. They are also not intended to protect from abrasions, cuts, tears, punctures, and heat/fire. The RR sleeves are ideal where the user needs protection from ionizing radiation during various types of procedures such as General X-Ray & Fluoroscopy, Radiography, Neuroradiology, Urology, MRI, CT, Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine. The RR Sleeve is intended to be used in conjunction with radiation attenuating gloves.
