SorbX® Scatter Radiation Protection Shields
At AngioSystems, we design SorbX® Shields to provide additional protection from scatter radiation during fluoroscopic procedures. Our shields are lightweight, flexible, highly absorbent, sterile, disposable, and lead-free, helping make radiation protection easier to incorporate into the clinical workflow.
Protection Designed Around the Procedure
We know radiation protection is not one-size-fits-all.
That is why we design SorbX shields around specific procedures and access points. Shield size, fenestration placement, and attenuation levels are selected to provide practical protection between the source of scatter radiation and the clinician.

Our team can provide you samples based on your procedure type and clinical application so you can see the material, flexibility, absorbency, and overall design firsthand.
Three Levels of Protection
We offer SorbX shields in three attenuation levels, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of protection that best fits your procedure and clinical environment.
Factors such as procedure duration, proximity to the beam, and typical beam strength can all play a role in determining the appropriate level of protection.

Customizable & Adaptable
SorbX® is designed to adapt to the way your team works. From different sizes, shapes, access points, and attenuation levels to fully custom shields, drapes, and procedure packs, we can tailor SorbX protection around your specific procedure and workflow.
Multiple Levels of Protection
We offer SorbX shields in multiple attenuation levels, giving you the flexibility to choose protection based on the procedure, exposure conditions, and clinical environment.
At 90 kVp, available configurations provide attenuation levels up to 95%.
Highly Absorbent
The absorbency of the outer material is critical for fluid containment. SorbX shields use the most fluid absorbent material available in the industry. See it in action one time and you will agree.
Lead-Free Protection
We use radiation-attenuating materials that provide effective protection without the weight and disposal concerns associated with lead.
Sterile & Disposable
SorbX shields arrive sterile and ready to use, helping simplify procedure setup while eliminating the need for cleaning, storage, or reprocessing between cases. Each shield is designed for convenient single-use protection in busy clinical environments.
More Than a Standalone Shield
SorbX® protection can be used on its own or built directly into the products your team already uses. We can help you choose the setup that works best for your procedure, workflow, and facility.
Standalone SorbX Shields
Choose from procedure-specific and multi-purpose configurations designed for a wide range of fluoroscopic applications.
Integrated Into a Procedure Drape
We can incorporate SorbX protection directly into procedure-specific patient drapes for a more streamlined setup.
Included in a Custom Procedure Pack
SorbX can also be added to custom procedure packs, keeping the protection you need together with the rest of your procedure supplies.
