Adjustable Stand for Round Testicle Shields

Both Lead and CT Testicle Shields may be used with this Adjustable Stand. This easily Adjustable Testicle Shield Stand will cradle all 3 sizes of the round testicle shields. The holder for the testicle shield is made of PVC on this stand to minimize artifact on the CT scan. A hand knob allows for easy vertical adjustment from 1” to 10” (five turns per inch). The counter weighted base is made of cast iron. A plastic plate, secured to the base, provides easy positioning. The unit can be used for anterior and posterior treatments.

It is recommended that the Adjustable CT Stand for CT Testicle Shields (Item 926-100) be used while raising and lowering the testicle shields, as this will reduce patient discomfort.
