T&D Advanced Radiation Shielding
Tungsten Unit Dose Pigs
Tungsten Unit Dose Pigs
Tungsten Alloy PET Unit Dose Pig has high density and strong ray shielding ability. It is divided into three parts: head, body and tail. With careful and reasonable design, this product can be matched with 2cc, 2.5cc, 3cc and 5cc type syringe shielded. When injected, the head and tail can be operated, reducing unnecessary radiation dose during the injection process. The PET unit dose pig not only realizes the shielding of single-dose FDG during the injection, but also realizes the shielding during its operation.
We can customize it according to your requirements, please send us your drawings.
The Tungsten Unit Dose Pig accommodates the most commonly used conventional and safety-engineered syringes. The tungsten components are rugged and easy to clean. A single twist to open or close reduces loading/unloading time. The overlap design eliminates streaming regardless of the dose’s position inside the pig.
A replaceable O-ring protects against leakage. Complete tungsten will not be damaged by automatic washing systems. Smooth metal surfaces make the application and removal of adhesive labels easy. This product is designed to comply with IATA and DOT II requirements when transported in an appropriate shipping container.
Innovative and cost effective, the Tungsten Unit Dose Pig will help improve the safety and efficiency of radiopharmaceutical handling procedures.
The following can be made by heavy tungsten alloy, tungsten polymer or silicone tungsten.

Introduction
T&D Materials Manufacturing Inc‘s Tungsten Alloys are not only very dense, but they are also very good at attenuating ionizing radiation. This makes them ideal for shielding applications such as in nuclear medicine or in the nuclear industry.
The ability to attenuate radiation is often expressed in “tenth layer thickness” – the thickness of a plate required to reduce the transmitted radiation to one-tenth of the intensity of the incident radiation; the lower the figure, the better the shielding. The attenuation properties also vary with the incident energy of the radiation.
