Product Announcements

Leaded glasses, or radiation glasses, protect your eyes from the harmful effects of radiation. Since our eyes are one of the most radiation-sensitive areas on our bodies, they must be protected whenever you’re operating, or around the operation, of machines such as: Radiographs, Fluoroscopes, X-rays, Irradiators, Electronic Microscopes, and Particle Accelerators. This is why many brands, like Phillips, specialize in making high-quality lead glasses. As technology keeps advancing, safety glasses have to change too Ophthalmologists and researchers stay up to date, creating leaded glasses to meet the ever-changing needs of Medical Imaging 

In 2020, all prescription and non-prescription leaded glasses must have CE1020 approval. In order to have this certification, leaded glasses have to be equipped with high quality .75mm lead equivalency lenses. If a pair has side shields, they must have .5mm Pb lead equivalency as well. These requirements are necessary for radiation glasses, but other qualities like comfort, fit, and style are also a factor when shopping for safety glasses.

What to Look For

If you are shopping for radiation protective eyewear, there are some important qualities that you should look for. You want them to be adjustable and comfortable in order to avoid unnecessary drops, which can damage the frame or cause scratches on your lenses. Look for frames that are built from a strong material, such as durable nylon, and which fit your head size correctly. Remember, not all leaded glasses fit every head shape. Most frames are built to fit different sizes. 

You’ll also want your pair to be as lightweight as possible, because of how long you’ll be wearing them. Most users need to wear leaded glasses for long periods of time, so if you feel pressure under your eyes, on your cheek, or other noticeable pressure from your glasses, they may be too heavy for extended use. If your glasses also fall down your nose when you look down, that can be a sign that your glasses don’t fit well and are too heavy for your face.

If you are looking for prescription leaded glasses, not all types can be made in your prescription.  If you don’t see an option in our drop-down menu for upgrades to a prescription, it is not available for that model. For radiation glasses that can be made in your prescription, you have the option of single vision, bifocal, or progressive lenses.  For some models, you can also add the popular anti-fog technology, for clearer vision. 

Below, we have put together a list of the top leaded safety glasses. All of these models include the distortion-free SF-6 Schott Glass radiation-reducing lenses with .75mm lead equivalency and are CE certified.

Top Leaded Glasses

1. RG-33: One of the better fit-over and cost-friendly models on our list, this fits very well for most head sizes. They tend to be a little on the bulkier side, but this just means that they fit over a more varied set of prescription eyewear. You can expect this pair to be incredibly sturdy for its lightweight design and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. 
2. RG-15011-BKC: If you are looking for style with your safety, this frame is a great option. This sleek, rectangular frame provides a clean look, but with bold lines that look good on any face shape. With its wide design, it fits best on medium to large heads. Not only will this frame look good on you, but it can also protect your eyes from radiation from almost any angle as they are equipped with built-in, permanent side shields for added protection.
3. RG-Q100: This model is another stylish model on our list that fits the most smaller head sizes. This model features a more rounded shape, also with built-in sides shields. It’s great for people who require improved peripheral vision in their leaded glasses, as this model’s design allows for a wider range of view than other options.
4. F126: The range of vision on these glasses is greater than many competing models on our list as the lenses are significantly taller and wider. Many glass working artists prefer this pair because of the excellent color recognition they get from the larger range of vision it gives. With its stylish industrial design, this pair fits very well for most larger head sizes and features side shields for that added bit of protection.
5. Nike Brazen: The Nike Brazen is great for professionals in the medical field thanks to its incredible balance. While a little heavier than other leaded glasses, the Brazen will sit snuggly on your face and is comfortable to wear for long periods of time. This is why professionals doing delicate, time-consuming work, such as surgeons, prefer the Brazen. The ventilated nose bridge helps prevent fog build-up inside the frame, providing superior vision throughout the day, no matter how humid your work environment is.
6. RG-Q200: Similar to the Q100, these glasses are lightweight, wraparound frame, that features removable leaded side shields for added eye protection. They fit very well on most head shapes as the frame material is flexible, but still durable. For added comfort, the rubber-coated temple bars sit comfortably against your head, and the saddle bridge nose pad provides slip resistance from sweat.
7. RG- J136: The J136 is another great option for surgeons with medium to large head sizes. Similar to the Nike Brazen, these glasses are well-balanced frame that makes for a comfortable fit throughout the day. This model comes with an adjustable nose piece and are one of few frames on our list that can be made with prescription lenses, providing a clear view of your work. 
8. Nike Premier: These glasses come in an assortment of solid colors; colors like matte tortoise, matte anthracite, matte black, cool grey/wolf grey, light bone, black/silver, dark grey. This model features an inlay nose pad that provides extra grip to your nose and face. Because of how the temples are slimmed down, this model can retain a strong grip on most head sizes.

At the heart of every veterinary practice is the commitment to provide exceptional care for animals of all shapes and sizes. Recognizing the unique challenges that come with safely positioning animals during diagnostic procedures, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new Veterinary Immobilizer V-Troughs. Designed with the needs of veterinarians in mind, these V-Troughs are not only versatile and easy to use, but they also come in five convenient sizes to accommodate a wide range of animals.

Why Choose Our Veterinary Immobilizer V-Troughs?

1. Superior Animal Positioning Animal positioning during procedures, particularly X-rays, is crucial for obtaining accurate diagnostic results. Our V-Troughs are designed to securely cradle animals in a stable position, minimizing the need for manual restraint. This leads to clearer images and a more comfortable experience for both the animal and the veterinary team.

2. Available in 5 Convenient Sizes No two animals are the same, which is why we’ve made our V-Troughs available in five different sizes. Whether you’re working with a small hamster or a large dog, you’ll find a V-Trough that perfectly fits your needs. The five sizes ensure that every animal is supported securely, reducing the risk of movement and enhancing the quality of your diagnostic images.

3. Durable and Easy to Clean Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, our V-Troughs are built to withstand the rigors of daily use in a busy veterinary practice. They are also designed for easy cleaning, helping you maintain a hygienic environment and meet the highest standards of cleanliness.

4. Comfort and Safety First The well-being of your patients is always a priority. Our V-Troughs feature a soft surface that provides comfort while ensuring the animal stays securely in place. This not only makes procedures less stressful for the animal but also enhances safety by reducing the likelihood of accidental movement with 4 invluded velcco straps to secure limbs.

5. Versatile Applications Our Veterinary Immobilizer V-Troughs aren’t just for X-rays. They can be used for a variety of procedures where stable positioning is required, including ultrasound and other imaging techniques. Their versatility makes them an essential tool in any veterinary practice.

A Closer Look at the 5 Sizes

To ensure that you have the right tool for every patient, we’ve introduced our V-Troughs in the following sizes:

1. Small (S): Ideal for cats, small dogs, and other small animals, this size provides gentle support for your tiniest patients.

2. Medium (M): Perfect for medium-sized dogs and similar animals, offering secure positioning for a wide range of procedures.

3. Large (L): Designed for larger dogs, this size provides the necessary support for more robust animals, ensuring they remain steady during diagnostics.

4. Extra Large (XL): For your largest patients, this size offers ample space and support, accommodating even the biggest breeds with ease.

5. Kit of 4: Understanding that some animals may require special considerations, we offer the option to get all 4 V-Troughs, ensuring the animals in your care are properly supported.

Why Our V-Troughs Stand Out

Our Veterinary Immobilizer V-Troughs are more than just another positioning tool; they’re a solution that enhances your ability to deliver the best care possible. By offering five convenient sizes, we ensure that you can provide optimal support for every animal, leading to better outcomes and a more efficient workflow in your practice.
