❓ Frequently Asked Questions — West Coast X-Ray Markers

Have a question about our products or how they work? You’re in the right place!

1. 💡 What exactly are X-ray markers?

X-ray markers (also known as radiographic or anatomical markers) are small tools used in medical imaging to indicate key information on X-rays—like patient positioning, Left/Right orientation, or the technologist’s initials. They help reduce errors and improve diagnostic accuracy.

2. 📍 Why are Left (L) and Right (R) markers so important?

L/R markers clearly show the side of the body being imaged. This simple step is essential for accurate diagnosis, surgical planning, and preventing medical mistakes.

3. 🔎 What materials do you use in your markers?

Our markers are crafted using high-density lead for radiographic clarity, encased in a durable, long-lasting resin shell.

4. 🧲 Do you offer lead-free marker options?

At this time, we do not offer lead-free markers.

5. 🎨 Can I personalize my X-ray markers?

Absolutely! We specialize in custom-made X-ray markers. Choose your colors, initials, symbols, and even themes (holidays, animals, hobbies). Your marker can reflect your personality or department branding.

6. 🏥 Who uses your markers?

Our markers are trusted by radiologic technologists, hospitals, clinics, schools, and vet techs across Canada and beyond.
