Salus Scientific Reaffirms Radiation Protection Standards Amid Industry Recalls

CHARLESTON, S.C., Feb. 24, 2026 – Salus Scientific, a company focused on occupational wellness, is reinforcing its commitment to high-quality radiation protection materials in response to recent garment recalls within the medical industry. The company positions itself as a stable and reliable partner for hospitals and clinical teams facing disruptions due to defects in core materials from other providers.

Sourcing and Material Integrity

Salus Scientific’s core attenuating material is exclusively sourced from Kemmetech Ltd., a company with 20 years of experience as a global leader in radiation protection core materials. This commitment to a single, trusted supplier prioritizes long-term protection and material integrity over cost or weight reductions.

The Kemmetech Standard: Scientifically Engineered Protection

Kemmetech’s materials are distinguished by their advanced engineering and rigorous testing. Key features include:

• Scientifically Engineered Layers: Unlike standard lead-free composites, Kemmetech utilizes two distinct, homogenous layers – a low atomic weight layer and a high atomic weight layer – to minimize scattered radiation and fluorescence.
• Independent Certification: The material undergoes testing for lead equivalence by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the UK, adhering to the IEC 61331-1:2014 standard across a 60kV to 110kV range.
• Proven Performance: A study conducted by the Medical Radiological Physics Department at Leeds University demonstrated that Kemmetech’s bilayer technology outperforms standard lead-free composites by over 40% in reducing absorbed dose during fluoroscopy.

Supporting the Clinical Community

Salus Scientific emphasizes its dedication to protecting the entire clinical ecosystem, recognizing the challenges of maintaining uninterrupted protection, comfort, and workflow during industry changes. CEO Todd Flohr stated, “Our goal is simple: help teams stay protected and operational. Whether you are reviewing current protection strategies or need a second set of eyes on garment quality and compliance, we welcome the conversation. We do not accept shortcuts when it comes to the wellness of those who heal others.”

Availability of Loaner and Temporary Solutions
