Lead-Free & Lead Thyroid Shield Cover Options The thyroid shield collars created here at Barrier Technologies are considerably more comfortable to wear than competing options. This is because most X-ray protection manufacturers don’t take into consideration the actual location of the thyroid gland and, therefore, offer tall, turtle-neck-like collars that are stiff, uncomfortable, and inhibit movement. In contrast to competing options, our thyroid shield collars are designed to protect the actual gland, which rests down where the neck meets the chest. Consequently, our protection is more comfortable and more effective at reducing radiation exposure.
