What Are Radiation Gloves?
Radiation gloves are a specific type of medical gloves, used to protect the wearer’s hands and wrists against exposure to radiation. In the same way that aprons and blankets may be placed over a patient’s body to protect them against X-rays, radiation gloves offer protection for a doctor or nurse.
Since they need to defend against radiation, radiation gloves need to be particularly thick and strong. They’re typically lined with lead, which blocks radiation from penetrating through the material and damaging the body. This can be very important in terms of reducing the health risks to nurses and doctors, as excessive or recurring exposure to radiation may increase the likelihood of cancer and other health concerns.
Radiation gloves are therefore very important pieces of medical attire for medical personnel. They’re a key form of protection for nurses and doctors who regularly carry out or assist with procedures involving radiation-emitting devices like X-ray machines and other scanners.

When to Use Radiation Gloves?
Radiation gloves should be used in any situations in which a caregiver or member of medical personnel is at risk of potentially dangerous or recurring exposure to radiation. This includes situations like fluoroscopies, electrophysiology lab procedures, radiographies, and so on.
Radiation Lead Glove Sizes
Like other kinds of medical gloves, radiation gloves are available in a wide range of different sizes to suit different hands. The common size range runs from extra small (XS) radiation gloves up to extra large (XL) radiation gloves.
Radiation Lead Glove Types
In general, all radiation gloves are more or less the same. They may vary slightly in terms of their coloring, as some are black and others are yellow, for example, and they can be made by different providers. However, in terms of their general design, materials, and structure, they are all very similar and offer the same general benefits. However, it is possible to find ultra-thin radiation gloves as a specialty product for situations when the wearer needs to retain a good level of dexterity and control in their hands, while still benefiting from radiation protection.
Radiation Lead Glove Uses
The main purpose of radiation gloves is to provide protection for the wearer. Regular exposure to radiation or devices that emit radiation can be very harmful for a healthcare worker, and studies show that the use of radiation gloves can help to diminish the risks and dangers for doctors and nurses. These gloves are therefore very important to wear in healthcare environments like hospitals and clinics in any situations that pose a risk of radiation exposure.
