Our letters are manufactured by a process which eliminates large interior voids found in die-cast letters, so that your x-ray legends will be clear and distinct. Since they are manufactured with flat backs, they can be easily and firmly mounted on any flat surface.
Flat Face is the standard style, although Condensed Deep Block is also a popular style because of its improved legibility on x-ray film. 1/4″ thick Industrial is used in high kVp applications. Lead arrows are also available in 1/4″, 1/2″, 5/8″, 1″, 1-1/4″, and 1-1/2″ lengths.
Just specify the letter style, height (or arrow length), and quantity for each letter, number, or arrow. We will indicate the correct catalog number on your invoice. For your reference, the catalog number for each style, size, and
mounting is listed on our price sheet. If you do not see a style that you need, please contact us. We either have it or can manufacture it.
Your local x-ray dealer, working with our efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable staff, makes ordering these letters a pleasure.
We custom-mount individual lead characters or complete words on plastic, aluminum, or copper to your specifications. We use flat-back letters and a special adhesive to insure that the letters stay permanently on their backing.
You will find mounted letters easier to handle, more economical than markers, and custom-made to fit your standard channel markers. You may also find that Aluminum or Copper mountings improve the letter contrast on your radiograph.
To order mounted individual characters or words, please indicate:
Letter Size – See previous page for the available sizes of all our letter styles.
Letter Style – See previous page for available letter styles. Unless you specify otherwise, we will mount the Flat Face Style.
Mounting Sizes, Individual Characters – The above are actual-size photographs of our standard mountings. Match your sample to these pictures, and reference the mounting number in your order. If your sample does not match, send us the sample, and we will return it with your order. You may also send sketches with exact dimensions or indicate the name of the channel marker you are using.
Mounting Sizes, Words – You can also use the above pictures and table to order standard mounted words. If your sample does not match any of the above pictures, send a sample, description, or sketch indicating letter style and height. Include the height and width of mounting background, and position of words, if not centered. Unless you indicate otherwise, words of greatest height will be mounted with an equal top and bottom margin; words of lesser height will rest on baseline of those taller words.
Mounting Material – All mountings will be centered on .020″ thick white vinyl plastic, unless your sample, drawing or specified holder indicates otherwise. Industrial style letters will be mounted on black plastic, unless otherwise specified.
Accuracy – Please double-check your order specifications. We will not accept returns for mounted letters or words unless it is due to our error.
We can mount letters on the following materials:
Black Plastic (.030″ or .040″ thick)
Clear Plastic (.020″ or .030″ thick), mounted on the front (standard) or back Aluminum (.016″ thick)
Copper (.006, .016″, .032″ thick)
Note: Because of the large number of variations in mountings and letter styles, we have many catalog numbers for these options. We suggest you give your dealer a product description similar to the examples under “Specifying Quantity” above. We will indicate the correct catalog number and your dealer’s catalog number on our invoice and packing slip. Our catalog numbers can be located on our current price sheet.
Acrylic Scales
These special scales are used when the radiologist needs to indicate locations or measurements in the imaging field. We engrave deep, 0.5 cm. graduations into tough acrylic plastic and fill them with a special radiopaque compound to leave distinct images on the radiograph. These scales have a center line for topographic recordings. They are available in both the 45 cm. and 115 cm. lengths with a hanging hole for storage.
Flexible Scales
This radiopaque extremity ruler is manufactured from a high performance, chemical-resistant plastic which can be sterilized using ethylene oxide or alcohol. Unlike acrylic rulers, this ruler is very flexible and virtually unbreakable.
These scales are used whenever measurements or locations in the image field are required. 1 cm. and 0.5 cm. graduations are engraved at least 0.030″ deep and filled with a special, flexible radiopaque material to give distinct and permanent readings on the radiograph. 115 cm. lengths are available in two thicknesses (1/16″ and 1/8″), and we also manufacture 45 cm. flexible scales (1/16″ thick).
