Burlington Medical Classic Thyroid Shield

Burlington Medical

The Burlington Medical Classic Thyroid Shield provides dependable radiation protection for the neck and thyroid region with a contoured design that enhances comfort and fit. Built with 0.5 mm Pb-equivalent shielding, the shield delivers consistent attenuation across the front panel while maintaining flexibility through the strap area. Additional attenuation material in the upper strap improves protective coverage without adding unnecessary bulk.

Available in multiple strap lengths and closure options, the Classic model accommodates a wide range of users. Its curved shape supports a more anatomical fit, and the bib provides extended coverage to protect tissue at the base of the neck. This shield is a practical, everyday solution for clinicians who need reliable and comfortable thyroid protection.

What To Consider When Purchasing a Thyroid Shield

Selecting the right radiation protection equipment ensures staff comfort, safety, and compliance with your facility’s specific needs.

Talk with a RadCare Specialist

Lead Equivalency and Protection Level

Thyroid shields are typically available in 0.35 mm or 0.5 mm Pb equivalency, with 0.5 mm offering the highest level of attenuation for scatter radiation to the neck and thyroid region. Your selection should align with the exposure levels in your department—high-scatter areas like interventional radiology, cardiac cath, and electrophysiology usually benefit from 0.5 mm protection, while lower-dose environments may find 0.35 mm appropriate.

Weight and Material Options

Because thyroid shields sit directly on the neck, weight and comfort matter. Shields come in standard lead, lightweight composite, and lead-free materials, which can be significantly lighter while still providing the same protection level. Lighter materials reduce neck fatigue and pressure, making them more comfortable for long procedures or all-day wear.

Style and Coverage Type

Thyroid shields are available in several styles, including standard, mid-binding, full-binding, mammography-specific, and bib-style designs for added chest coverage. Closure type matters too—hook-and-loop, buckle, and magnetic closures each offer different levels of convenience, adjustability, and security. Choose the style that fits your department’s workflow and provides the right balance of protection and mobility.

Comfort Features and Fit

A well-fitting thyroid shield improves both comfort and compliance. Look for options with ergonomic contouring, precision-cut necklines, and soft interior layers that reduce rubbing or pressure points. Ensure you select the correct size for each staff member—an improperly fitted shield can leave gaps that compromise protection.

RCS Insights

“When selecting a Burlington thyroid shield, consider the protection level you need—most shields offer 0.5 mm Pb equivalency, which is ideal for high-scatter fluoroscopic environments. Closure style matters, too: hook-and-loop, buckle, and magnetic closures each offer different levels of adjustability and convenience.

Burlington’s shields stand out for their ergonomic fit and reliable attenuation, making them a strong choice for teams who need comfortable, dependable neck protection throughout the day.”
