- Essential safety garment is draped over patients during dental and medical diagnostic imaging to block ionizing radiation from reaching vital organs
Uses
- Patient Radiation Isolation:
- Completely shields the torso, gonads, and vital organs of adult patients from direct and secondary scatter radiation during diagnostic X-rays
- Targeted Thyroid Shielding:
- Employs an integrated collar to isolate and safeguard the radiation-sensitive thyroid gland during intraoral bite-wings or periapical scans
- Multi-Operatory Use:
- Deployed across dental practices, hygiene clinics, maxillofacial surgical suites, and orthopedic imaging rooms
Features
- 0.3mm Medical-Grade Lead:
- Engineered with authentic lead lining to provide a dependable, highly dense barrier against primary and scattered radiation beams
- Antimicrobial Fabric Lining:
- Covered in a proprietary "Soft T-Touch" polyurethane outer fabric that actively resists bacterial colonization and fluid absorption
- Attached Thyroid Collar:
- Permanently sewn directly into the bib design, ensuring thyroid protection is always applied without tracking loose pieces
- Dual Sturdy Hanging Loops:
- Outfitted with heavy-duty stitched hoops on the shoulders to facilitate seamless vertical storage on wall racks
- Standard Adult Layout:
- Patterned to generous 27.5” W x 23.6” L dimensions to deliver complete, optimized anatomical protection for the average adult
Benefits
- High-Level Attenuation Security:
- Traditional lead provides peace of mind and strict compliance in regions with rigid radiological protective criteria
- Simplified Infection Control:
- The smooth, supple polyurethane shell withstands frequent wipe-downs with standard clinical surface disinfectants without drying or cracking
- Protected Internal Core:
- Storing the apron by its integrated loops keeps the heavy internal lead from folding or creasing, preventing dangerous cracks and radiation leaks over time
- Patient Comfort and Compliance:
- The outer fabric features a gentle, soft-feel texture that avoids cold, scratchy plastic sensations against a patient's bare skin
