“The ErgoLight Apron Changed My Life!”
“ErgoLite® gives me good radiation protection. It helps my back and shoulders by redistributing the weight onto my hips. It’s a great piece of equipment and I swear by it… It gives me safety, 360 degrees, it’s comfortable, and I don’t have to be concerned about my back during long cases. It’s a winner on 3 counts.”
Dr. Douglas Coldwell, MD, PhD

Professor of Radiology & Radiation Oncology
“I have been very pleased with my (ErgoLite®) apron. Many of my colleagues have moved to skirt and jacket type aprons. However, I have very much enjoyed my single piece apron. It is extraordinarily comfortable and unfortunately, turns out to be a frequently borrowed apron when visitors come to the Interventional radiology suite!
I acquired a waist band with the apron, which helps to make it even more comfortable and less stressful on my back after a long day in the interventional radiology suite. I would highly recommend this model to any radiologists for occasional use during the day or extended use during long interventional radiology procedures.”

“This (ErgoLite®) is the most comfortable apron that I have used. Because of the stays in the shoulder, the weight of the lead is primarily on the hips. I have had no back problems since using the ErgoLite®.
I perform over 600 cases a year, so the comfort of the lead is extremely important to me. Thank you for this fine product.”

“I’m writing to let you know how pleased I am with the ErgoLite® vest & kilt system that I purchased… The shoulder support feature has effectively removed all weight from my shoulders and makes doing procedures much more comfortable. I am impressed by how much better this lead is than all other products I have used during the last 11 years in catheterization laboratories. My compliments to the engineers who designed this product.”

Prevent repetitive stress of the shoulders, neck and back that may result in career shortening injuries with lightweight lead apron radiation protection with our special Patented ErgoLite® Zero Fatigue Aprons.
The first and only radiation protection aprons to eliminate 100% of weight and contact at the shoulder areas!
By using a reinforced but flexible internal framework, AADCO Medical has designed aprons that can entirely eliminate the repetitive stress and fatigue problems of the upper back and extremities associated with the shoulder contact and weight of conventional X-ray protective aprons.
How They Help
This design was specifically developed to help relieve the repetitive stress at the shoulders caused by prolonged lead apron shoulder contact. Repetitive Stress has been identified as a cause of chronic fatigue and pain in medical professionals who wear radiation protection aprons for long periods of time on a regular basis.
ErgoLite® is an Advanced design—simple but effective. It helps eliminate repetitive stress and fatigue problems while allowing the protective garment to remain both flexible and comfortable. The line is available in three styles: the 600 series Vest & Kilt, 700 series Wraparound Aprons, and 200 series Designer Buckle Front Protection Aprons.
These are the only x-ray aprons of their type! All are made with our premium super light-weight & LeadFree X-Ban® protective material. Available exclusively from AADCO Medical.
How They Work
We use two specially designed lightweight thermoplastic supports. Beginning at the waist of the garment, these supports are built into the garment’s lining.
The supports extend from the waist, up and over the shoulders, and down the back of the garment, ending at the waist. Combined with the use of our adjustable height back support belt, these supports pick up the weight of the specific x-ray protection apron along their entire length, particularly at the shoulders.
This eliminates not only shoulder weight from the apron but also all contact at the shoulder.
“I want to let you know how pleased I am with my new Ergolite Lead Apron!! It offers such great support during long interventional cases. It is the most comfortable lead apron I have worn in my career and I will definitely be doing more business with AADCO Medical! Thanks again!!”
“This (ErgoLite®) apron has a special design which includes heavy duty plastic stays over both shoulders thus re-distributing the weight of the apron in a somewhat more diffuse manner. In conjunction with the belt, it feels almost non-existent and it is not unusual to forget that I am wearing it. Its comfort is extremely high with loss of the usual sense of heavy weight which is more commonly noted with a standard lead apron.”
“Thanks for the new lead. I love it! Since I put it on the first time I’ve stopped using my old one. The difference is day and night. The new lead is much lighter, the material is more pliable, not as stiff. You also did excellent measurements of me because the new lead is a perfect fit. Thanks again.”
“This lead has really helped my back overall. I used to have a lot of mid back pain wearing the apron style lead, but this has decreased that pain quite a bit. It takes all the pressure off the shoulders, and that’s the key.”
