Lead Brick Cave – 450 x 650 mm

Product description

The LB-C-450-650 Lead Brick Cave offers extended depth for procedures requiring additional working distance inside the shielded area. The 650mm depth accommodates standard vial handling, syringe preparation, and dose drawing operations where operators need space to maneuver behind the shielding boundary.

Extended depth, compact width

This configuration balances a deeper working area with a narrower 450mm width—ideal for bench installations where lateral space is limited but procedure depth matters. The extra 100mm over the compact model provides meaningful additional room for positioning vials, shields, and handling tools within the protected zone.

Each cave arrives as a complete kit of interlocking lead bricks. Nuclear Shields calculates the exact brick quantities and supplies everything needed for assembly. The chevron interlocking profiles create radiation-tight joints without tools, mortar, or adhesives—simply stack the bricks and your workspace is ready.

50mm lead shielding throughout

The cave walls provide consistent 50mm lead thickness using our proven LB-50 brick system. This shielding level effectively attenuates gamma radiation from common nuclear medicine isotopes including Tc-99m, I-131, and F-18. The interlocking joint pattern prevents direct radiation paths between bricks.

All four standard sizes

Choose the configuration that matches your workspace requirements:

Integrate an L-block shield

Add a tabletop L-block shield with lead glass window for operator protection during hands-on procedures. The L-block positions behind the cave opening, shielding your face and upper body while the lead glass maintains clear visibility of your work.

This combination—brick cave plus L-block—creates a complete shielded workstation for radiopharmacy, nuclear medicine, and research applications. Browse our L-Block Shields to find the right size, or explore other shielded workspace solutions for alternatives.

Reconfigure as needs change

The interlocking bricks stack without permanent fastening, so your cave can be disassembled and rebuilt in a new location or configuration. Add bricks to increase height, relocate to another bench, or return components to inventory for different projects. For non-standard dimensions, contact Nuclear Shields for custom cave designs using the same LB-50 brick system.
