Description
A lead apron is a type of protective barrier that acts as a radiation shield. It is constructed of a thin rubber exterior and an interior of lead in the shape of a hospital apron.
BARC Certified (Certificate available on Request)
INDICATIONS:-
- To reduce exposure from X-Rays to vital organs that are potentially exposed to ionizing radiation during dental/medical imaging that uses x-rays.
ADVANTAGE:-
- Lead aprons are proven to reduce the amount of ionizing radiation exposure to reproductive organs.
- Reduce exposure of vital organs.
Comfortable :-
- Weight Adjuster, Flexible Back.
- Comfortably places more weight on hips, less weight on shoulders.
- Available with Velcro Straps.
- Reinforced Belt, Spacious and Strong.
Effective Results:-
- 0.34mm Lead equivalency
- BARC certified.
Light Weighted:-
- Length: 100cm from the shoulder
- Weight : 2.7kg
- Width-60cm
Easy Usage:-
- Quick & Easy to use.
Soft Fabric:-
- The way it is designed and manufactured it has many advantages, such as its ability to insulate, provide comfort and it is also hypoallergenic and is a durable fabric.
Neckline Height:-
- High enough that when worn in conjunction with thyroid collar there is no space between the thyroid collar and the apron neckline.
- High neckline will reduce radiation doses of 45% and is strongly recommended, especially in younger age groups.”
- Neckline should be high in those cases where the thyroid is in line with, or very close to, the primary beam.
Shoulder Padding:-
- It helps alleviate discomfort to the shoulder area.
- Perfectly shapes the shoulder.
- Very good creasing property.
- Standard dimensions.
Velcro Strap:-
- For better grip.
- Velcro has great strength and is low maintenance.
- One of its greatest advantages is the ease of use.
- Locked together with just a press of the fabric.
- It is so easy to use it can be operated by a runner mid-stride.
Length:-
- Make sure your torso is covered to just below the knee.
- The major critical organs include the gonads, breast, active bone marrow, lungs, thyroid, bone surfaces, and, to a lesser degree, various other organs in the trunk of the body which has a risk from radiation exposure, nearly.
- All the critical organs can be shielded by a lead apron that has a length to about mid-femur.
Shoulder Panel Width:-
- Concealed for comfort and durability.
- Wide enough to support the apron weight across as broad surface areas as possible without restricting movement or causing discomfort.
Arm Holes:-
- Snug fit but not restrictive to movement of the arm.
- 0.35 mm Lead equivalency front protection provides about 70% attenuation even in high energy (kVp) beams.
- Instrument Name :-Lead apron + Thyroid collar.
- Type :- Dental Radiography.
- Category :- X ray protection.
- Material :- Lead.
- Disposable / Reusable :- Reusable.
- Sterile / Non-Sterile :- Non – Sterile.
Waldent Lead Apron:-
- Weight-2.7kg
- Length-100cm
- Width-60cm
Specification Of X-ray Unit Used For Carrying Out The Test : Siemens polydoros-LX with high frequency generator ( max.150 KV, max.800 mA) KV variation : = 1 KV, output variation (COV) : <0.05
Measured Lead Equivalence : 0.34mm at 100 KVp of X-ray beam.
Direction to Use
General: All radiation protection aprons should be regularly checked and monitored for substrate integrity. We recommends a minimum of two inspections annually. Any protective apron that shows holes, tears or radiation leakage must be taken out of service immediately and either repaired or destroyed.
Storage:
Aprons should always be properly hung on a rack or hanger specifically designed for protective apron storage. Never fold, crease or stack an apron. Avoid sharp objects. Core material is fragile and once punctured renders an apron unusable & will allow radiation to pass to the wearer.
Cleaning:
Use only warm water and mild detergent or our specially formulated apron cleaner. Never use harsh chemicals and never use commercial or machine washing or drying on aprons.
Disinfecting:
NEVER use a steam autoclave as the heat will cause severe damage to the protective substrate. Aprons can be ETO gas sterilized or disinfected with Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide Spray or Wipes.

FAQs
- Lead aprons absorb 90%–95% of scattered radiation that reaches them. “Wrap- Around” lead aprons are useful when medical personnel spend a lot of time with their backs turned away from the patient.
- Note: It is recommended that you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and/or the state regulations regarding the proper care and use of lead protective equipment. X-ray Aprons should be cleaned daily and deodorized by scrubbing with a soft bristle brush, using cold water and a mild detergent.
- Lead metal is the preferred material for radiation shielding. The reason is that lead is highly effective in providing protection from sources of radiation. Lead metal is dense; it can be used against various high-energy applications of radiation, including gamma rays, x-rays, and other types of nuclear radiation.
