Manipulation tongs

Medisystem manipulation tongs are the only multi-purpose tongs suitable for handling/griping vials as well as syringes and compresses during the preparation and fractionating of radiopharmaceutical drugs in SPECT and PET nuclear medicine, regardless of the radioisotope handled (^99mTc, ²⁰¹Tl, ¹²³I, ¹⁷⁷Lu, ¹³¹I, ¹⁸F, ⁶⁸Ga…). The curved tips on each arm of the tongs make it easier to grip and hold small objects or containers, such as syringes, needles, compresses, vials (all sizes) or any other accessory that must be remotely handled to reduce user exposure.

With two different lengths available, 250 or 400 mm, the tongs allow remote handling for all operations including: elution, radiolabelling, measurement and sampling. Regardless of the available work volume (large or small) and the environment of use:

• shielded hot cell,
• laminar flow hood,
• microbiological safety station,
• on a bench behind a shielded vision window,
• L-Block

Thanks to a full stainless steel design, daily maintenance and cleaning as well as decontamination are simple and possible by immersion in a suitable bath. The Medisystem tongs are suitable for both right and left-handed people, without any special adjustment.

Thus, this versatile and robust tong model is the essential answer for daily remote handling operations in nuclear medicine for routine radiopharmaceutical preparations.
