Details

Radionuclide generators are essential for nuclear medical diagnostics, as they provide short-lived radioactive substances directly at the point of use. Despite integrated shielding, close-contact handling, such as extraction, still involves radiation exposure. Repeated exposure can lead to serious occupational illnesses and long-term health damage for radiology staff, as risk levels are determined by radiation intensity, clearance, and time. Two patented design features reduce contact, duration, and strain: a quick-locking lid for safe, fast access; and a multi-grip ergonomic handle that may increase clearance during transport and handling.

The Jury‘s Statement

A sophisticated safety concept takes center stage: The quick-release carrying lid of »Mon-Tek Mo/Tc-99 Generator« effectively reduces radiation exposure and consistently protects users*. The ergonomic multi-handle stands out with its clever design, creating distance and enabling safe, intuitive handling. This confident combination of protection, functionality and aesthetics distinguishes the project in an outstanding way and sets a new benchmark for the industry.
