Radiation Products Design

What Radiation Products Design does

Radiation Products Design, Inc. is a privately held specialty medical-equipment manufacturer and distributor based in Albertville, Minnesota, serving radiation oncology and nuclear medicine departments in hospitals, cancer treatment centers, and nuclear medicine facilities across the United States. Its core business is the direct sale (by phone, fax, or email — no online ordering) of an extensive catalog organized around four functional pillars: dosimetry measurement instruments (ionization chambers, electrometers, MOSFET detectors, diodes), radiation shielding (lead and tungsten blocks, L-blocks, mobile barriers, eye and organ shields), brachytherapy applicators and accessories (HDR and LDR GYN systems, seed implants, eye plaques), and patient positioning / immobilization / QA devices (thermoplastic masks, vacuum cushions, water phantoms, geometric QA phantoms). A central element of the technical offering is the company's role as the US distribution channel for the three leading global dosimetry chamber brands — Standard Imaging (Exradin), PTW Freiburg, and Scanditronix Wellhofer — supplemented by proprietary products such as Perflexion Co-57 flood sources built around its WolfGuard tungsten composite shielding, C-Thru transparent flood source holders, and Exradin-family chambers featuring Shonka conductive plastics characterized in TG-51 and TRS-398 dosimetry protocols. The company additionally offers custom block fabrication, build-up caps across a broad range of detector families and tissue-equivalent materials, and CE-marked Exradin chambers certified to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60731.

Commercially, RPD operates a high-touch consultative sales model with quote-based, non-published pricing on all products, reflecting the technical specification requirements of radiation therapy procurement. Revenue is generated almost entirely from one-time sales of catalog items rather than recurring subscriptions or services. Customer segmentation is purely vertical (hospital radiation therapy departments as primary, with cancer treatment centers and nuclear medicine departments as secondary segments), and customer concentration risk is diluted across a broad US installed base of medical facilities, with no publicly disclosed flagship customers or anchor accounts. The business combines a mature specialty-distribution franchise with a modest proprietary manufacturing footprint, supported by partnerships with IBA Dosimetry, LAP, and Klarity for adjacent product categories.

Core offering

Radiation Products Design manufactures and distributes specialized medical equipment and accessories for radiation therapy, radiation oncology, and nuclear medicine applications. The product portfolio spans ionization chambers (Exradin, PTW, Scanditronix/Wellhofer brands), dosimeters, MOSFET detectors, radiation shielding products (lead, tungsten, mobile barriers), brachytherapy applicators (HDR and LDR), patient positioning and immobilization systems, quality assurance phantoms, PET/nuclear medicine handling equipment, and calibration accessories. The company serves hospitals, cancer treatment centers, and nuclear medicine departments primarily through direct quote-based sales.

Product overview

Radiation Products Design is a specialized manufacturer and distributor of radiation therapy and nuclear medicine equipment serving oncology departments worldwide. The company offers an extensive portfolio organized into multiple product categories: radiation shielding products (lead blocks, L-blocks, rolling shields, mobile barriers), ionization chambers and dosimetry equipment (Exradin, PTW, Scanditronix/Wellhofer brands), brachytherapy applicators (GYN HDR/LDR systems), patient positioning and immobilization systems, quality assurance phantoms and devices, CT/PET nuclear medicine products, calibration equipment, and supporting accessories. The product line includes chamber-specific components like build-up caps, cables, connectors, and stands, as well as specialized shielding for eyes, testicles, and general protection. The company also provides sterilization equipment, biopsy/accessory products, and custom manufacturing services. This is a catalog distribution model rather than a unified software platform—products range from precision measurement instruments to capital equipment to disposable supplies, all serving the radiation oncology workflow.
