The applications of CTIA GROUP LTD tungsten rubber gloves in the medical field mainly focus on clinical scenarios where operators' hands are exposed to a certain amount of scattered radiation, such as image-guided interventional procedures, diagnostic radiological examinations, and some auxiliary operations in radiotherapy. As a flexible radiation protection product, tungsten rubber gloves use tungsten powder as the primary shielding filler, combined with the elastic properties of the rubber matrix, providing localized radiation attenuation while better preserving the fine tactile sensation and motor flexibility of the hands.

The most common usage environments for tungsten rubber gloves include cardiovascular interventional treatment rooms, neurointerventional rooms, vascular surgery catheterization rooms, as well as fluoroscopy-guided surgeries in orthopedics/pain departments. In these procedures, the operator needs to stand near the X-ray tube of the fluoroscopy machine for extended periods, with their hands directly exposed to the scattered X-ray field from the primary beam. Tungsten rubber gloves serve as a supplementary protective measure in addition to lead aprons, lead thyroid shields, and lead glasses, and are particularly suitable for steps that require frequent manipulation of guidewires, catheters, embolic materials, or radiofrequency needles. Compared to traditional lead rubber gloves, CTIA GROUP LTD tungsten rubber gloves are lighter in weight under the same protective thickness, offer a softer feel, and significantly reduce hand fatigue and sweating during prolonged wear, which holds practical clinical significance for physicians performing multiple complex interventional procedures consecutively.

In addition, tungsten rubber gloves are also applied in oral and maxillofacial imaging departments, orthopedic C-arm fluoroscopy, CT-guided puncture biopsy, and certain operations in nuclear medicine departments (such as preparation before radioactive seed implantation). In these relatively short-duration but highly repetitive radiation exposure scenarios, they provide moderate additional protection without significantly interfering with tactile feedback or sterile operating habits after wearing the gloves. The tungsten rubber gloves themselves are lead-free, avoiding the environmental and occupational health risks associated with lead waste disposal, and aligning with the current principles of medical radiation protection of “reasonable protection and optimized protection”.
