Thyroid Collars

Thyroid collars are essential protective devices designed to shield the thyroid gland from radiation exposure during diagnostic imaging and therapeutic procedures. Commonly used in medical, chiropractic, dental, and radiology settings, these collars provide targeted protection for one of the body’s most radiation-sensitive areas.

Constructed from high-density, lead or lead-equivalent materials, thyroid collars effectively absorb and reduce scatter radiation while maintaining flexibility and comfort. Worn securely around the neck, they are lightweight, adjustable, and designed to fit a wide range of patients without interfering with positioning or workflow.

Thyroid collars play a key role in enhancing patient safety, particularly in environments where repeated or higher-dose imaging procedures are performed. By minimizing unnecessary radiation exposure, they support best practices in radiation protection while promoting patient confidence and care quality.
