CLEAR-Pb Compensation Filters eliminate the problems inherent in imaging a wide range of densities on one radiograph. Because they are far superior, they replace the bulky, heavy aluminum filters that block the collimator light field. In addition, CLEAR-Pb filters are only one-fifth as heavy as aluminum filters. And, they eliminate the use of gradient-speed intensifying screens. CLEAR-Pb filters are made of lightweight plastic that is 30% lead by weight. A unique “quick-stik” magnetic mounting system plus a filter holder that slides into the collimator tray ensure that the filter is held firmly in place. It also permits instant repositioning as the area and/or degree of filter coverage changes.
The 57-4 Series CLEAR-Pb Compensation Filters provide the following benefits:

• Improve image quality
• Filters are 30% lead by weight
• Reduce the need for multiple exposures
• Ensure a more uniform image density
• Reduce patient exposure by selectively attenuating the x-ray beam
• Lightweight, easy to use
• Mounts to any collimator
• Collimator light field is never blocked
