A flat pad with a strap or partial glove assembly used to shield only a portion of the hand or fingers of the wearer from unnecessary exposure to primary and scattered radiation associated with diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures.

It typically consists of a fluid resistant outer covering that surrounds a thin sheet of lead (Pb) or lead-equivalent material and is typically intended to be worn over patient examination or surgical gloves.
