- A heavy-duty protective garment is draped over patients during dental or medical diagnostic imaging to intercept and block harmful scatter radiation from reaching vital organs
Uses
- Patient Radiation Isolation:
- Completely shields the torso, gonads, and major internal organs of adult patients from direct and secondary scatter radiation during standard intraoral X-rays, bite-wings, or CBCT scans
- Targeted Thyroid Shielding:
- Employs an integrated protective neck collar to isolate and safeguard the highly radiation-sensitive thyroid gland during dental radiography
- Multi-Operatory Use:
- Deployed primarily in dental practices, surgical suites, orthopedic centers, and hospital imaging departments
Features
- 0.3mm Medical-Grade Lead Lining:
- Crafted with a traditional, highly dense internal lead layer that provides uniform, heavy-duty barrier protection against primary and scattered radiation beams
- Antimicrobial Polyurethane Fabric:
- Encased in a smooth, premium outer shell that actively resists the growth of pathogens and prevents the absorption of bodily fluids
- Permanently Attached Thyroid Collar:
- Built directly into the neck profile of the bib, ensuring thyroid protection is always automatically deployed without tracking two separate components
- Dual Sturdy Hanging Loops:
- Equipped with heavy-duty stitched hoops on the shoulders, facilitating vertical, flat storage on wall racks
- Standard Adult Layout:
- Patterned to generous 27.5” W x 23.6” L dimensions to provide optimized anatomical coverage for the average adult patient
Benefits
- Maximum Attenuation Confidence:
- Utilizing authentic medical-grade lead delivers strict regulatory compliance and peace of mind in regions with rigid radiological safety standards
- Effortless Infection Control:
- The flexible, chemical-resistant polyurethane surface can be rapidly wiped down with standard clinical surface disinfectants between patient appointments without drying, peeling, or cracking
- Core Integrity Longevity:
- Storing the apron by its integrated shoulder loops prevents the internal lead lining from folding or creasing, which avoids dangerous cracks and radiation leaks over years of service
- Patient Comfort and Compliance:
- The outer material features a gentle, soft-feel texture that avoids cold, scratchy plastic sensations against a patient's bare skin
