- This protective medical blanket is draped over adult patients during radiography to shield internal organs and tissues from scatter radiation
Uses
- Patient Radiation Shielding:
- Isolates the torso, gonads, and internal organs of adult patients from direct and secondary scatter radiation during dental bite-wings, periapical scans, and 3D CBCT imaging
- Thyroid Gland Protection:
- Employs an integrated neck collar to isolate and safeguard the highly radiation-sensitive thyroid gland
- Clinical Safety Compliance:
- Deployed across general dental practices, pediatric clinics, hospital radiology units, and orthopedic diagnostic facilities
Features
- Lead-Free Protective Core:
- Utilizes an advanced non-toxic alloy attenuation material that delivers standard 0.25mm lead-equivalence protection
- Lightweight Internal Matrix:
- Engineered to be 30% lighter than traditional heavy lead blankets, reducing the crushing physical weight placed on the patient
- Antimicrobial Polyurethane Fabric:
- Encased in a specialized "Soft T-Touch" outer coating that resists fluid absorption and bacterial growth
- Integrated Thyroid Collar:
- Permanently attached to the bib structure, preventing the neck shield from being misplaced or detached
- Built-In Hanging Loops:
- Equipped with robust stitched shoulder loops, enabling the apron to hang completely flat on wall hangers to prevent internal lining creases
- Standard Adult Layout:
- Cut to generous 27.5” x 23.6” proportions, ensuring optimal anatomical coverage for the average adult patient
Benefits
- Enhanced Patient Comfort:
- The 30% lighter weight prevents patients from feeling trapped, restricted, or claustrophobic during their imaging procedure
- Eco-Friendly Disposal Protocols:
- Containing zero toxic heavy metals simplifies environmental disposal and recycling regulations when the apron reaches the end of its lifecycle
- Hassle-Free Infection Control:
- The supple polyurethane surface is chemical-resistant and easily sanitized with standard dental office surface disinfectant wipes between appointments
- Long-Term Core Durability:
- The flexible inner composite material is highly crack-resistant, ensuring consistent protective density over thousands of patient adjustments
