Mazes clear the way for sliding doors
Perhaps one of the biggest trends in radiation shielding is the move away from maze entryways to more direct, sliding doors to access treatment spaces.
"Customers immediately recognize the advantages that the direct entry design can bring to their facility, not only with respect to actual construction time or cost, but also with respect to patient and staff experience and greatly increased space utilization," says Veritas Medical Solutions’ Farrell.
Direct entry, he added, increases patient throughput. And due to the redundancy of two doors, the feature also improves safety and reduces door maintenance.
Above all, Farrell added, it's important to be responsive to customers who have the best interest of their patients in mind.
"Our customers are always looking for solutions. No matter how many ‘standard’ products you may offer, every facility has its own special needs or unique challenges," he says.
