They are not intended to be used instead of a Radiographic Protective Gloves, normally used in radiography for those studies which need the physician's hands or forearms to be inserted intop the primary x-ray beam, but not the sterility or the degree of manual dexterity allowed by the PROGUARD. Moreover these gloves are not to be used in or next to the primary x-ray beam or conducted primary x-ray beam. The main purpose of these gloves is to reduce the amount of dispersed radiation exposure to the hands from the primary x-ray beam during examinations or procedures under fluoroscopy performance.
