Saxsons Group
New Delhi, India · Since 1997
Saxsons own-brand shielded syringe carrier family for the routine task that drives a measurable share of operator extremity dose — moving dispensed unit-dose syringes from the hot lab to the patient injection room or theranostic suite. Lead tiers cover the dispense-energy range: 3 mm for SPECT Tc-99m, 6 mm for routine PET (FDG / Ga-68), 6 mm + 12 mm lateral for high-activity PET, and 12 mm for premium long-distance transport. β-γ hybrid builds pair lead with a Perspex or acrylic inner sheet for pure-beta and mixed-emission isotopes (Y-90, P-32, Sr-89, Lu-177 theranostic). SS 202 outer finish standard; SS 304 medical-grade option. Designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant.

The transport step is the hot-lab workflow that drives a measurable share of operator extremity dose
3 mm Pb tier covers the routine Tc-99m unit-dose walk from the dispensing bench to the gamma-camera injection room. Long handle keeps the operator hand at maximum distance from the shielded well.
6 mm Pb all-sides tier for the FDG / Ga-68 / Cu-64 unit-dose transport. High-activity tier (6 + 12 mm lateral) for the multi-dose source-vial radiopharmacies dispensing 30+ doses per shift.
Hybrid Pb + acrylic carrier handles the β contribution from Lu-177 and the γ doublet (113 / 208 keV). For PRRT and PSMA-617 unit-dose transport from radiopharmacy to therapy suite.
β-γ hybrid build with Perspex / acrylic inner — stops the high-energy beta before bremsstrahlung develops against the lead inner surface. For interventional-radiology SIR-T workflow.
6 mm or 12 mm Pb tier for high-activity I-131 ablation capsule transport — 75–250 mCi capsules carry to the patient room or therapy suite within AERB transport-shielding requirements.
Multi-syringe slot configuration carries 2–4 dispensed unit doses per trip. Reduces per-shift round trips between the hot lab and the injection room — operator cumulative-dose budget benefits proportionally.
Unlike a single-direction bench shield, the syringe carrier is held in the operator hand during transport — the lead has to wrap on all sides because there is no fixed orientation. The 6+12 mm lateral tier recognises that the lateral wall is closest to the operator hand during carry, so the lateral side gets the heaviest shielding.
Pure-beta isotopes (Y-90, P-32, Sr-89) generate bremsstrahlung when they stop in high-Z lead. A Perspex / acrylic inner layer stops the beta first at low Z; the lead behind handles the residual γ. This is the standard radiation-safety construction for any β-γ transport surface.
Dose rate from the shielded syringe well falls with the square of distance. The long-handle design adds 200–300 mm of distance between the operator hand and the shielded well — measurable reduction in cumulative extremity dose over a 100-shift year.

Eleven carrier configurations from the Saxsons syringe carrier family — the build sheet matches the lead tier to the dispense energy, the β-γ option to the isotope mix and the chassis size to the per-trip dose volume.
