A Thyroid shield helps us protect the thyroid gland, which is the most radiation-sensitive organ. It is recommended to use a thyroid shield whenever there is an expected radiation exposure.

One must wear a thyroid shield during chest x-ray imaging. It helps minimize the risk of thyroid cancer from radiation exposure. Pregnant women and children are also advised to wear thyroid shields or lead collars.

A thyroid shield is a must for x-rays, fluoroscopy, CT scans etc. If you are a radiographer or a physician who routinely performs such procedures then it is very important that you protect your thyroid gland.

Shaped like a butterfly, the thyroid gland is known as the shield of the body as it protects our body from losing its functional balance. Hence, the shield of the human body must remain shielded from harmful exposure.

Our Thyroid Shield is designed to ensure that there are no holes through which radiation can pass and reach the thyroid gland. We have made them super comfortable for you to wear as it comes with Velcro. The easy maintenance and cleaning is an additional benefit of our thyroid shield.

It is large, as a previous reviewer noted, but not too large to interfere with a mammogram. I am glad to have it for dental Xrays and mammograms. The only improvement might be a removable cover.

I bought this to protect myself from any radioactivity after bringing my cat home from her I-131 treatment. Easily velcroed. Worth buying for peace of mind.

Taking care of your copperware is much easier than you may have imagined. With copperware, a little care goes a long way. Here is how you can do it.

All our copperware is made from pure copper and thus is meant to tarnish within a day or two after the usage. It is completely normal and has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
It is crucial to clean the product regularly in order to maintain its shine.
You can use an industrial product such as Pitambari used specifically for cleaning copper utensils. If you live in India you can easily get it and if you don't you can use any of the below-mentioned recipes.
A mixture of table salt and fresh lemon juice (you can also use white vinegar instead of lemon). Rub this mixture onto the surface until clean. Wash with plain water and wipe off the excess water immediately with a cotton cloth.
You can also use tamarind paste instead. Soak up some tamarind in warm water. Once it is soft, use the pulp to rub the surface of your copperware. Wash with water and wipe off the excess water with a cotton cloth.
Always wipe off the excess water with a cotton cloth after rinsing your copperware. If you fail to do so water marks will form on the utensil which is hard to get rid of later.
Try not to rub your copperware with an abrasive scrubber as it may leave behind scratches. Always use a cotton cloth to rub the surface of your copperware.

Follow the steps as mentioned above to maintain the shine of your copperware and keep them new forever.
