An unfortunate side effect of wearing heavy lead aprons for long procedures is that they can have a damaging effect on the back, shoulders, and knees. To mitigate these negative health consequences, Barrier Technologies® has developed and patented a mobile lead shield, the Terminator XR™ — an innovative breakthrough in radiation protection technology. Our portable bedside shield is fully customizable and provides up to 4x more long-bone protection than the standard protective apron or competing secure shield options.

Portable Lead Shields to Keep You Protected & Mobile For a long time, the only alternative to xray lead aprons has been cumbersome space-suit-like devices that hang from either the ceiling or a crane. While they do provide protection, these hanging lead shields severely limit movement in the operating room by keeping the doctor constantly tethered to either the ceiling or a crane. They’re also so bulky that they prevent multiple people from simultaneously standing against the side of the operating table. Inspired by the disadvantages in these competing designs, physicians asked our engineers to develop a lead shield that was actually mobile and easy to use. This is how the Terminator XR™ was born — a truly intuitive and mobile lead shield. Advantages of the Terminator XR™ Portable Bedside Shield The Terminator XR™ is the most efficient, mobile, and customizable lead shield on the market, and when you’re not using it, you can simply wheel it into a corner.
