It must not be for-gotten that the late skin effects may, andusually do, come on from four to seven yearsafter prolonged exposure. Immunit}- fromsuch effects for a year or two instils a falsesense of security. Eternal vigilance is theprice of an intact skin. Such additional pro-tecting devices as lead rubber gloves, areessential and ordinary leather gloves should beworn underneath the rubber gloves. This isparticularly important if fluoroscopy be usedfor operative work in fractures. Lead glassgoggles and leaded aprons are useful in fur-ther increasing safety in fluoroscopy.
