LR X-Ray Markers to Make Your Mark

If you really want to make your mark as a radiologic technologist, a wide variety of customized Left and Right X-Ray markers and supplies are available online.

We all know how much trouble it is to lose your markers.

Many facilities require markers with the technologist’s initials. Maybe it’s time to pick up a spare set. If you’re bored of the Plain markers (below), then check out some customized alternatives.

Radmarkers

Radmarkers.com is a South Florida family based company that manufactures custom lead X-Ray markers for radiographs. Their radiographic markers are made of radiolucent molds in multiple shapes and colors. The wide variety of unique markers includes a breast cancer awareness marker and an autism awareness marker.

Some of the products from Radmarkers include unique markers such as flip flops, skull, cat, butterfly, and paw shapes. A variety of colors add a bit of flair to the standard square pattern.

Radmarkers offer a product called Gecko strips or radgrips.  These are reusable X- Ray marker grips that leave no sticky residue. The product is appears to be similar to the silicon sticky stretchy toys that kids play with. Even though they are washable with hot water, I personally would not want to worry about spreading infection with a reusable sticker.
