MindPeace (patent pending) is an extended thyroid collar designed to reduce radiation exposure of your thyroid and your head’s lower and middle section.
Art no: PMP3035S, PMP3035M, PMP3035L
MindPeace is personal protection equipment (PPE) intended to reduce cranial exposure to ionizing radiation for medical practitioners during clinical interventions. MindPeace has a unique design (patent pending) and minimizes radiation exposure of the thyroid as well as the lower and middle section of the head1,2. The collar is to be worn as a traditional thyroid collar – around the neck. The design of Mindpeace is ergonomic, comfortable, and facilitates long-term performance without jeopardizing safety.
Technical data
MindPeace is manufactured out of Texray, a patented technology platform, and constitutes a woven and breathable textile with attenuating capacity and protects the user from harmful radiation. The textile allows vapor transport due to the properties of Texray. The CE mark shows that MindPeace meets personal protection equipment’s (PPE) essential safety and performance requirements. MindPeace 0.35 mm Pb complies with IEC 61331:2014 and is certified by EU Regulation 2016/425.
MindPeace is available in three different sizes: small, medium, and large. Choose size based on your height, neck size, and personal preference. You may also view our size guide video. Please visit our FAQ if you need additional information about choosing the right size for you.
