SFXray

SFXray is one of the leading X-ray protection garment and equipment manufacturers in Europe. We have more than 30 years of experience within the PPE industry (formally as Safety First Sales).

Radiation safety is a concern for patients, physicians, and staff in many departments, including radiology, interventional cardiology, and surgery. Radiation emitted during fluoroscopic procedures is responsible for the greatest radiation dose for medical staff. Radiation from diagnostic imaging modalities, such as computed tomography, mammography, and nuclear imaging, are minor contributors to the cumulative dose exposures of healthcare personnel. However, any radiation exposure poses a potential risk to both patients and healthcare workers alike.

Physical radiation shielding can be accomplished with different forms of personal protective equipment (PPE). The barrier materials we use at SFX are of the highest quality and are exclusively supplied by the world-renowned company, Kemmetech.

The results of wholly independent tests have proven to be highly impressive. X-ray protection garments made from material produced via Kemmetech’s unique method of production are safer, lighter and much more comfortable for wearers.

The UK’s National Physical Laboratory’s extensive tests for attenuation and lead equivalence confirmed that against 50-120kV using broad beam geometry, Edge Bilayer met all of the major standards including IEC 61331-1: 2014 plus DIN 6857-1.

We offer our core barrier material in the following variations:

Lead – Standard Lead, heaviest material, cost effective solution.

Low lead bilayer – combination of Antimony and Lead, intermediate weight and cost.

Lead-free bilayer – Combination of Antimony and Bismuth, Premium Lightest material.
