By gliding along or into a wall instead of swinging out of its frame, the ExamSlide™ sliding door system can save up to 30 square feet per door. It can be specified to be lead-lined. As such, it can help alleviate spatial constraints inherent in X-ray room design while providing necessary radiation shielding.

By eliminating swing arc trajectories, ExamSlide also allows patients and staff greater freedom of movement within the space. With a more open design, X-ray rooms can be made more accessible for all. These sliding door systems also give hospital staff more flexibility in the placement of the machines and controls themselves, which can allow for a more comfortable space overall. 

When lined with lead, interior sliding doors and their frames offer critical radiation protection for patients and staff. Because the entire system, door and frame, can be lead-lined, it can work in tandem with radiation-blocking walls to create an unbroken protective barrier around the X-ray room.
