The Head & Neck Flared Edge Coated Support provides support and stabilization for the head and neck during medical imaging procedures. Measuring 16″ L × 14.5″ W × 6.5″ H, its contoured design helps maintain positioning while supporting the head and neck.
For added durability, a medical-grade, fluid-resistant coating covers the foam positioner. The coating is easy to clean with medical-grade disinfectant wipes or sprays. It also helps protect the foam interior during repeated clinical use. In addition, the positioner is radiolucent, with low attenuation and minimal shadowing during imaging.
The patented N-VISI-RAY design uses flared edges to significantly reduce artifacts during X-ray imaging. Although the flared sides increase the overall size, they do not affect imaging or positioning.
Finally, the Head & Neck Flared Edge Coated Support is MRI Safe and latex-free. This makes it suitable for use across a variety of medical imaging environments.

At Phillips Safety, we offer both traditional leaded cores and our advanced Axion Core™ lead-free materials, giving medical professionals a full range of radiation protection options.
Lightweight Lead Core
For decades, lightweight lead has been the industry standard in radiation protection. Known for its durability, affordability, and proven shielding performance, it is a reliable choice for facilities seeking trusted, cost-effective radiation safety.
Axion Core™ Lead-Free Radiation Aprons and Garments
Phillips Safety introduces Axion Core™, our next-generation line of lead-free radiation aprons and garments. Engineered with a proprietary blend of bismuth, antimony, and rare earth elements, Axion Core™ delivers the lightest cores available today while meeting the highest shielding standards. Medical professionals can select the perfect balance of comfort, durability, and performance with three options.
Axion Core™ Options
Lead equivalency is how well an apron blocks radiation compared to a specific thickness of lead. To pick the right one, you must match the material to your distance from the X-ray source.
Choose how your thyroid shield connects to your lead apron (or stays standalone). The tether does not change radiation protection—it’s about organization and workflow.
Untethered (No Tether)
Wear and store the shield separately. Lowest snag risk and nothing attached to the apron. Good if you rotate between multiple aprons or prefer separate storage.
Buckle Tether
An adjustable strap with a quick-release buckle that clips to an apron loop/strap. Keeps the shield with the apron during use and storage; fast on/off between cases. Best for shared aprons or high-turnover rooms.
Ring Tether
A reinforced D-ring for clipping or hanging (carabiner, hook, or existing apron hardware). Simple and durable; ideal if you hang shields on a wall rack or want a fixed attachment point. Requires a clip/hook for use.
Which should I choose?
Notes: Follow your facility’s policy on attachments and snag hazards. Tethers are not load-bearing; don’t carry the shield by the tether alone. Clean/disinfect hardware per your normal protocol.
A buckle tethered thyroid shield is a small connector designed to keep the thyroid shield and lead apron together when not in use. It uses a ½-inch black plastic side-release buckle, with the male end attached to the thyroid shield and the female end attached to the apron. This simple system helps prevent the thyroid shield from being misplaced and ensures it stays conveniently paired with the correct apron for easy storage and access.
A ring tether for a thyroid shield is a simple connector made from two heavy-duty metal key rings. One ring attaches to the thyroid shield and the other to the lead apron, allowing the two to stay connected when stored or hung. The ring tether helps prevent the thyroid shield from being misplaced and ensures it remains paired with the correct apron, without affecting the function or comfort of either item during use.
Pick how the shield fastens. Protection is the same—this is about fit and workflow.
Velcro (Hook & Loop)
Most adjustable and forgiving. Quick to fine-tune over scrubs/lead; easy, glove-friendly; simple to replace. Best for shared shields or changing layers.
Magnetic
Fast, quiet, and self-aligning. Even pressure, easy on/off with gloves. Best for speed and comfort. (Confirm facility policy near MRI.)
Buckle
Rugged, wipe-clean hardware that locks in and stays put. Consistent fit once set. Best for heavy use and “set-and-forget” reliability.
Quick pick: Adjustability → Velcro | Speed/quiet → Magnetic | Durability → Buckle
The standard Velcro closure features a wide, adjustable strap that secures comfortably behind the neck. It allows for a snug, customized fit and quick fastening or removal. This is the most common closure style, offering reliability, simplicity, and easy adjustment for different users.
The plastic side-release buckle closure uses a durable black plastic buckle positioned at the back of the neck for secure fastening. It provides a quick click-to-close and squeeze-to-release design, making it easy to use with gloved hands while maintaining a consistent fit every time.
The magnetic closure uses an integrated magnet system for effortless connection and release at the back of the neck. This premium design eliminates the need for manual alignment, allowing the shield to snap securely into place. It’s ideal for users seeking maximum convenience and comfort without compromising hold.

An anti-fog coating works by chemically affecting the adhesion of water molecules, preventing them from grouping into larger clusters that can impair vision. They’re ideal for anyone who wears surgical masks, moves between temperature-controlled rooms, or works in high stress environments. Always clean lenses while wet to maintain their clarity and longevity.
