An X-ray film hanger is a device, typically made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, designed to securely hold X-ray films in place during the development, processing, and drying stages to ensure accurate and high-quality radiographic images. These hangers feature robust clip mechanisms to prevent film slippage and distortion, are often reusable for cost-effectiveness, and are essential for maintaining consistent film positioning and chemical exposure in darkrooms and film processing areas.
