- This specialized protective bib is draped over adult patients during dental and medical diagnostic imaging to shield vital organs from secondary radiation exposure
Uses
- Patient Radiation Shielding:
- Provides reliable protective shielding for the torso, gonads, and internal organs during standard intraoral dental X-rays, panorex scans, and 3D CBCT imaging
- Thyroid Gland Protection:
- Utilizes an integrated neck collar to isolate and safeguard the highly radiation-sensitive thyroid gland from scatter radiation
- Multi-Setting Clinical Safety:
- Deployed across dental practices, hospital radiology units, and orthopedic diagnostic facilities
Features
- Lead-Free Protective Core:
- Formulated with advanced, non-lead attenuation materials that deliver a full 0.25mm lead-equivalence protection
- Lightweight Internal Matrix:
- Engineered to be 30% lighter than traditional heavy lead blankets, lowering physical stress on patients
- Antimicrobial Polyurethane Fabric:
- Covered in a specialized "Soft T-Touch" outer coating that actively resists bacterial growth and pathogens
- Integrated Thyroid Collar:
- Permanently attached to the bib structure, eliminating the need to track or store separate neck collars
- Built-In Hanging Loops:
- Equipped with robust stitched storage loops, enabling the apron to hang smoothly on wall racks without creasing the protective lining
- Standard Adult Dimensions:
- Cut to standard 27.5” x 23.6” proportions, providing optimal anatomical coverage for the average adult patient
Benefits
- Significantly Better Patient Comfort:
- The 30% reduction in weight prevents patients from feeling restricted, claustrophobic, or physically weighed down during their scans
- Eco-Friendly Disposal Protocols:
- Because it contains zero toxic lead metal, the apron is highly environmentally friendly and simplifies disposal regulations when it reaches retirement
- Hassle-Free Infection Control:
- The supple polyurethane surface is chemical-resistant and easily sanitized with standard dental office disinfectant wipes between patient uses
- Long-Term Core Durability:
- The flexible inner composite is highly crack-resistant, ensuring consistent protective density even after thousands of patient adjustments
