Ocular Protection: BR126 Glasses
The updated radiation protection legislation has lowered the limit of the organ equivalent dose for the lens of the eye, for persons exposed to occupational radiation above the age of 18, from 150 mSv to 20 mSv per calendar year (Radiation Protection Act – StrlSchG, coming into force on 01/10/2017 and 31/12/2018). A significant mini- misation of cataract risk is expected from this change in legislation.
Another requirement is to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable (the ALARA principle), even below the new limit of 20 mSv per calendar year, by taking into account current scientific and technical knowledge.
The use of X-ray protection glasses is an important tool for meeting the legal requirement for reducing the organ equivalent dose.
Efficient radiation protection for the lens of the eye also requires protection from secondary radiation hitting the lens from the side and also from below. It is therefore important that there is more than just frontal protection for the eyes. The size of the shielding for the facial area is also important.
This is why ARTIMEDICA has taken these important factors into consideration in the distribution of the new MAVIG's X-ray protection glasses wich has also given their previous models a thorough facelift.
We have therefore decided to distribute the MAVIG's most popular eye protection model, the BR126 glasses, taking into account the new findings on avoiding radiation-induced cataracts.
