UNSPSC 42204005 Medical radiological shielding gloves is a Commodity code covering lead-lined or lead-equivalent gloves used in diagnostic and interventional imaging procedures to protect clinicians and patients from ionizing radiation exposure. State and local governments procure these gloves through their health departments, hospital systems, and clinical facilities that operate radiology suites, fluoroscopy labs, and interventional imaging centers. The gloves are typically purchased as consumable supplies or as part of broader personal protective equipment (PPE) requisitions, often in conjunction with lead aprons, thyroid shields, and other radiological protective equipment. Purchasing patterns reflect infection-control and radiation-safety compliance requirements under state health codes and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, driving regular replacement cycles.
