Flexiback Frontal Apron with Back Support, Lightweight Lead

The Flexiback Frontal Apron with Back Support, Lightweight Lead, is designed with an integrated back support belt that includes a bonded, elasticized panel engineered to maintain its tension over time.

Features:

• Provides firm, consistent pressure to the lower back to encourage better posture
• Redistributes the apron’s weight from the shoulders to the hips, helping reduce strain on the neck and upper spine
• High-density foam padding cushions the shoulders for greater comfort during extended wear
• A built-in hook-and-loop closure secures the apron across the shoulder blades to help prevent slipping
• The stretch-resistant elastic belt system is designed to retain its shape and support over time
• An integrated front pocket keeps markers and other essentials within easy reach
• *Core material passes the universally recognized testing procedure: ASTM F3094-14
• Lead Equivalencies:
  
  • 0.35 mm Pb (1-Meter Apron): Use only if you can maintain a 1-meter (3-foot) distance
    
    • Safety: At 1 meter, it provides the lowest dose (5.8 uSv) for distanced workers
  • 0.50 mm Pb (Proximity Apron): Necessary standard for table-side work or being within 0.5 meters of the source
    
    • Safety: Offers the highest attenuation (96.5%) against high-intensity scatter
    • Usage: Best for general clinical use when you cannot step back
• Core Material:
  
  • Lightweight Lead Core - For decades, lightweight lead has been the industry standard in radiation protection. Known for its durability, affordability, and proven shielding performance, it is a reliable choice for facilities seeking trusted, cost-effective radiation safety
• Fabric Options:
  
  • Nylon - A classic lightweight fabric. Nylon is a synthetic material with high tenacity and excellent abrasion resistance. Nylon is also highly resilient, has good specific strength, and provides high resistance to insects, fungi, molds, mildew, rot, and many chemicals
  • Polytron - A smooth fabric with a soft touch. Manufactured in the U.S., it has flexible, comfortable qualities due to its Polypropylene construction. This lightweight material is also inherently stain-resistant, PFC chemical-free, and bleach-cleanable
  • PVC EasyClean - A thick fabric that provides a leather-like touch. Made of an ultra-resistant material, it is, as the name suggests, very easy to clean with a quick wipe; it is clean and ready to go
  • Ripstop - A woven fabric that uses a reinforcing technique, which makes it more resistant to tearing and ripping. Often made of Nylon, Ripstop is a lightweight material with interwoven ripstop reinforcement threads in a crosshatch pattern, making it look like diamond stitching
• Available in 7 standard and custom sizes. To select the appropriate size, please consider the following measurements:
  • Chest: Measure the circumference under the arms around the widest part of the chest
  • Waist: Measure the circumference around the narrowest part of the waist
  • Hips: Measure the circumference around the widest part of the hips, keeping the feet close together
  • Measure the length from the highest point of the trapezius to the top of the knee

**Sizing and  ***Approximate Product Weights:

*Core material lead equivalency requirements vary by facility. If apparel must be approved by a safety officer prior to use, please confirm the lead equivalency requirements at your facility prior to placing an order.

**Sizes below XS and above 3XL can be accommodated with custom sizing.

***All apron weights are approximations. Actual apron weights may be +/- 10% of the approximate weight listed.
