On-site screening service ensures protective equipment is functioning at its best

Supplier of SFXray products Hospital Services Limited (HSL) offers a comprehensive range of radiation protection equipment, which the company says is tailored to meet the highest safety standards.

HSL’s portfolio includes lead aprons and shields designed for maximum protection and comfort, protective eyewear to reduce exposure to scatter radiation and thyroid collars and gloves. Additionally, HSL now offers an on-site radiation protection screening service to ensure that all protective equipment is functioning at peak performance and providing the highest level of safety assurance. HSL’s experts conduct thorough inspections, compliance checks and an advisory report to optimise radiation protection strategies.

The radiation protection screening service is fully managed by one of HSL’s dedicated team members, meaning it does not require the time of expert radiographers. Additionally, because the service does not use any of the department’s clinical equipment for testing, resources remain fully available for patient care. The unit is entirely self-shielding, eliminating the need for additional protective measures. This approach is said to save healthcare organisations money while maintaining safety standards for staff and patients.

“Behind our success in radiation protection is a dedicated team of specialists committed to enhancing safety standards. Each member brings expertise and experience to ensure that hospitals and clinics receive the best possible protection solutions. From product specialists to customer care advisors, our team is always ready to assist with tailored recommendations and support,” HSL says.
