GE Healthcare sells both the UV transmitting work surface (28-9002-05), and the UV blocking cover (28-9426-85). The UV transmitting work surface protects the UV box from getting scratched, but does not protect the user from UV. The UV blocking cover is a hinged, clear cover that can be mounted onto the UV transilluminator, and raised up to protect the user from harmful UV radiation. This is very useful when excising bands.
