Radiation Protection Has Evolved. So Should Your Gloves.

In the push for better radiation safety, most hospitals and surgical teams have already adopted shielding aprons, thyroid collars, and mobile barriers. However, in many procedure rooms, one critical area is still left vulnerable: the hands.

Surgeons, interventionalists, and technologists routinely operate inches from active fluoroscopy and high-dose imaging. Over time, even low-level exposure to the hands can accumulate, and so can the long-term risks. Traditional lead gloves offer strong protection, especially for high-exposure cases. But they come with tradeoffs: limited dexterity, added fatigue, and potential safety and environmental concerns tied to lead content.

That’s where a new class of protective gloves is gaining traction, and INFAB is leading the charge.

Rethinking Radiation Protection: A Smarter Glove for Today’s Procedures

INFAB’s Lead-Free Radiation Protection Surgical Glove is built for the realities of modern healthcare. Manufactured in the USA and designed with a tungsten-based shielding material, it offers verified radiation protection without compromising control or comfort.

    • Up to 56.5% attenuation at 60 kVp 
    • Just 0.18 mm thick,  the thinnest glove of its kind on the market 
    • Lead-free, latex-free, and powder-free 
  • Sterile for use in surgical environments 
  • Anatomical fit in multiple sizes 
  • ASTM-tested for medical use 

Whether guiding catheters in a cath lab or navigating imaging-assisted procedures in the OR, INFAB’s lead-free sterile glove gives clinicians the tactile sensitivity they need, along with the shielding they expect.

Proper Protection for the Right Procedure

To be clear: leaded gloves still play a key role in high-radiation, short-duration cases. But in long, delicate procedures where precision is everything, clinicians need hand protection that won’t get in the way.

This sterile glove was designed for those moments.

Made for the Modern Healthcare Professional

Radiation protection doesn’t have to mean bulk, weight, or toxic materials. INFAB’s lead-free sterile surgical gloves represent a smarter, safer standard that is purpose-built for today’s procedural demands.

Made in the USA. Trusted by professionals.
