Uniray BACKSAVER Lead Half Apron for Radiology
Ergonomic anti-X protection with innovative back closure and reduced strain
Innovative back closure design for optimal fit

The Uniray BACKSAVER lead half apron features an innovative back closure with gathered design, developed to improve fit and adapt precisely to the user?s body shape.

This design enhances conformity, reduces gaps, and ensures consistent protection against scattered radiation, particularly in the thoracic and abdominal areas.

It is ideally suited for demanding medical environments such as radiology, operating rooms, and interventional imaging.

BACKSAVER technology: up to 50% reduction in back strain

The BACKSAVER system incorporates an ergonomic belt designed to optimize weight distribution across the back, shoulders, and spine.

- up to 50% reduction in back load
- improved distribution of mechanical stress
- reduced muscle fatigue during prolonged wear

As highlighted in the technical data sheets, this design significantly improves comfort and posture during long procedures.

High-performance anti-X protection across a wide energy range

Manufactured from lead material, this apron ensures effective attenuation of ionizing radiation over a broad operating range:

- protection from 50 to 150 kV
- suitable for scattered radiation environments
- compatible with nuclear medicine use

Performance data shows:

- up to 99.83% attenuation at 60 kV (0.50 mm Pb)
- over 93% attenuation at 150 kV (0.35 mm Pb)
- high efficiency maintained across the full energy range

Available lead equivalences
- 0.25 mm Pb: lightweight protection
- 0.35 mm Pb: standard intensive use
- 0.50 mm Pb: enhanced protection
Regulatory compliance in radiation protection

This apron complies with PPE requirements:

- PPE Category III
- compliant with EU Regulation 2016/425
- CE marking 0120
- conforms to NF EN 61331-3:2014
- tested according to IEC 61331-1:2014

These certifications ensure a high level of safety aligned with healthcare standards.

Advanced ergonomics for prolonged procedures

The BACKSAVER apron integrates several features designed to enhance user comfort:

- gathered back for precise anatomical fit
- integrated belt for improved stability and weight distribution
- ?floating? shoulder effect to reduce pressure points
- thick shoulder padding as standard

This ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue during extended use.

Fit and size adaptability

Available in 6 sizes and 3 lengths, this model ensures precise adjustment for all body types.

A sizing guide helps ensure optimal fit and continuous protection.
