Travel safe bags - Retirement Focus - Sima Products Corp - Brief Article

Travel America, March-April, 2004 by Pat Woods

Seniors love to travel and often carry medications with them. Research has shown that today's powerful airport X-ray scanners can affect medications, especially homeopathic medicines because they contain minute amounts of active ingredients that are more susceptible to the ionizing radiation from airport scanners.

Sima Products Corporation, the leading manufacturer of X-ray protective film bags (FilmShield), has developed the Travel Safe bag to carry medications through airports. The tough, puncture-resistant polyester bags have a thick X-ray barrier layer as well as an inner layer of barium compound for added protection. Bag prices range from $9.99 to $29.99. For more information or to order, call (800) 345-7462 or e-mail info@simacorp.com.
