X-Ray:

  • X-Rays are ionizing electromagnetic radiation that have very short wavelength and hence high frequency and high energy, which is harmful to those exposed to them.
  • Exposure to X-rays cause mutations in our DNA and can lead to cancer. 
  • The conventional approach of using lead-based tiles is extremely expensive for use and implementation.
  • Medical X-ray diagnostic rooms require protective barriers to shield operators and occupants of adjacent areas against harmful levels of radiation.
  • Radiation exposure may arise from direct exposure to the X-ray beam (primary beam) or by X-rays scattering from the patient, equipment or other fixtures.

Problem Faced by Radiology Departments:

  • Radiation is a systemic issue with all radiology equipment available in the world.
  • Limited support from equipment providers to set up the facility
    Profitability of hospitals is tied to their utilization of radiology services and inputs.
  • Awareness is low in non urban markets

About X-Block:

  • Trigem Innovations Pvt. Ltd. with technical collaboration with Pooram & Pooram introducing X block (Patent Applied) a radiation shielding material which is non toxic and environment friendly.
  • X Blocks are a lead free solution that can be used in shielding radiology rooms in hospitals.
  • It is non toxic in nature and can be installed and modified / removed much easily than conventional materials used currently.
  • X Block is specially engineered wall tiles to block, absorb and diffuse radiation.
  • They are cheaper than conventional materials both in installation and maintenance.
  • They are cheaper than conventional materials both in installation and maintenance.

Why
X-Block?

  • Non-lead shielding materials are manufactured with additives and binders mixed with attenuating heavy metals that fall into the same category of materials as lead that also absorb or block radiation.
  • These metals may include Tin (Sn), Antimony (Sb), Tungsten (W), Bismuth (Bi) or other elements.
  • Non-lead based solution is recyclable and safe for non-hazardous disposal making it ecofriendly.
  • Reduces harmful effects of radiation on hospital employees / staff and customer / patients and can be used for multiple radiation prone.
  • Less expensive, non-toxic than conventional (lead based) products and no recurring installation or sealing cost compare to lead based products.
