Radiopaque X-Ray Lead Ruler (Acrylic)

Updated and Improved Acrylic Scales
Flexible Scales This radiopaque extremity ruler is manufactured from a high performance, chemical-resistant plastic which can be sterilized using ethylene oxide or alcohol. Unlike acrylic rulers, this ruler is very flexible and virtually unbreakable. These scales are used whenever measurements or locations in the image field are required. 1 cm. and 0.5 cm. graduations are engraved at least 0.030" deep and filled with a special, flexible updated and improved radiopaque material to give distinct and permanent readings on the radiograph. 115 cm. lengths are available in two thicknesses (1/16" and 1/8"), and we also manufacture 45 cm. flexible scales (1/16" thick).

These special scales are used when the radiologist needs to indicate locations or measurements in the
imaging field. We engrave deep, 0.5 cm. graduations into tough acrylic plastic and and fill them with an Improved & Updated Radiopaque Compound that leaves a very distinctive image on the radiograph improving the clarity of the scales. These scales have a center line for topographic recordings. They are available in both the 45 cm. and
115 cm. lengths with a hanging hole for storage.
