Lead Aprons Designed With Your Needs in Mind

When it comes to customizing lead aprons, AADCO Medical offers a wide range of options to ensure that customers receive aprons that meet their specific needs. Here are some detailed customization options available for the ErgoLite® and ComfortLite™ aprons:

  • Material and Lead Equivalence: Customers can choose from materials like X-Ban SuperLightweight and X-Ban LeadFree. Additionally, there is an option to select the lead equivalence, whether it’s 0.35mm or 0.5mm, to provide the level of protection required for different radiological procedures.
  • Colors and Patterns: There is an extensive selection of colors and patterns to choose from, enabling institutions to match their branding or accommodate personal preferences. This includes various nylon colors and unique designs such as galaxy, graffiti, and different camouflage options.

How to Select the Right Radiology Lead Aprons

Selecting the right radiology lead aprons for various medical procedures or environments is essential for proper radiation protection, comfort, and longevity of use. Here’s a straightforward guide on how to choose what’s best for your circumstances:

  • Understand the Protection Level Needed: We craft our aprons with our proprietary X-Ban® core material, which provides effective radiation attenuation. With 98% attenuation at 80 kVp and 94.1% at 100 kVp, this material offers certified protection for most standard imaging settings. Ensure you choose an apron with appropriate lead equivalence for the procedures you perform.
  • Consider the Work Environment: For those with long case hours or existing shoulder injuries, or if you’re seeking maximum comfort, the ErgoLite® range is designed to reduce career-shortening stress injuries. If you are looking for the best combination of protection, durability, and comfort, the ComfortLite™ series boasts the highest x-ray protection-to-weight ratio in the industry. This series is suitable for professionals who need lightweight yet highly protective aprons. When outfitting a department on a budget, the Z™ Aprons are an economical option made in large quantities and limited colors, which reduces costs.
  • Look for an Ergonomic Design for Comfort: Assess the ergonomic features of different apron styles. For instance, our ErgoLite® line eliminates 100% of the weight and contact at the shoulder areas, which is crucial for those who experience fatigue or stress injuries from prolonged use of x-ray aprons.
  • Identify Your Style Preference: There is a variety of apron styles, such as kilts, vests, half-aprons, and wraparound aprons. The choice will depend on the coverage you need and the type of procedures you perform. Full wraparounds offer more front and back protection, while vests and kilts may provide more mobility.

When selecting lead aprons, consider these factors to find the one that best suits your specific needs regarding protection level, comfort, ergonomic design, and budget.
