Radiopaque X-Ray Lead Ruler (Acrylic)

Acrylic Scales
Flexible Scales This radiopaque extremity ruler is manufactured from
a high performance, chemical-resistant plastic which can
be sterilized using ethylene oxide or alcohol. Unlike acrylic
rulers, this ruler is very flexible and virtually unbreakable.
These scales are used whenever measurements or
locations in the image field are required. 1 cm. and 0.5 cm.
graduations are engraved at least 0.030" deep and filled
with a special, flexible radiopaque material to give distinct
and permanent readings on the radiograph. 115 cm.
lengths are available in two thicknesses (1/16" and 1/8"), and
we also manufacture 45 cm. flexible scales (1/16" thick).
These special scales are used when the radiologist
needs to indicate locations or measurements in the
imaging field. We engrave deep, 0.5 cm. graduations
into tough acrylic plastic and fill them with a special
radiopaque compound to leave distinct images on the
radiograph. These scales have a center line for topographic
recordings. They are available in both the 45 cm. and
115 cm. lengths with a hanging hole for storage.
