Vest and Skirt Core Overlap Apron with Back Support, Lightweight Lead

The Vest and Skirt Core Overlap Apron with Back Support, Lightweight Lead, is a comfortable two-piece apron designed to reduce radiation exposure while minimizing fatigue during long procedures.

Features:

• Consists of a vest and a skirt that together provide anterior and posterior torso protection from the shoulders to the thighs
• An integrated, adjustable elastic relief belt transfers up to 70% of the apron’s weight from the shoulders to the hips, providing active lumbar support for enhanced all-day comfort
• For a secure, adjustable fit, both the vest and skirt feature front buckle closures that allow each piece to be fastened and adjusted independently
• Designed with a 3/4 overlap front, the apron offers either 0.35 mm Pb or 0.50 mm Pb lead equivalency in the front while doubling protection in the overlap area without adding unnecessary weight
• Permanent 0.25 mm Pb back panel provides reliable posterior protection with a lighter overall design
• Skirt features a specialized anti-slip lining to help keep it securely in place throughout the day
• Suitable for both men and women
• *Complies with the ASTM F3094-14 testing standard
• Lightweight Lead Material: A specialty formulated material engineered to reduce weight compared to standard, traditional lead cores, making it easier and more comfortable to wear without sacrificing dependable protection
• Lead Equivalencies:
  • 0.25 mm Pb (1-Meter Apron): Use only if you can maintain a 1-meter (3-foot) distance
    • Safety: At 1 meter, it provides a lower dose (7.5 uSv) than a 0.5 mm apron used up close (14.0 uSv)
  • 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
• 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
