Uniray BACKSAVER Lead Wraparound Apron for Radiology
Ergonomic anti-X protection with reduced back strain for prolonged wear
BACKSAVER ergonomic design for long-lasting comfort
The Uniray BACKSAVER lead wraparound apron is designed to meet the demands of healthcare professionals exposed to ionizing radiation during extended procedures.
Its innovative design significantly reduces back strain by optimizing weight distribution across the shoulders, back, and waist.
The BACKSAVER system enables up to 50% reduction in back load, improving comfort and limiting muscle fatigue during prolonged wear.
High-performance anti-X protection in medical environments
Manufactured from lead material, this apron ensures effective attenuation of ionizing radiation across a wide energy range:
- protection from 50 to 150 kV
- suitable for scattered radiation environments
- usable in interventional radiology and nuclear medicine
Available lead equivalences
- 0.25 mm Pb: lightweight protection
- 0.35 / 0.25 mm Pb: standard intensive use
- 0.50 / 0.25 mm Pb: enhanced protection
Certified attenuation performance
- up to 99.83% attenuation at 60 kV (0.50 mm Pb)
- over 93% at 150 kV (0.35 mm Pb)
- high efficiency across the full energy range
Regulatory compliance in radiation protection PPE
The BACKSAVER apron complies with the most stringent European requirements:
- PPE Category III
- compliant with EU Regulation 2016/425
- CE marking (0598 / 0120 depending on configuration)
- conforms to NF EN 61331-3:2014
- tested according to IEC 61331-1:2014
These certifications ensure a level of safety suitable for demanding healthcare environments.
Advanced ergonomics: reducing physical strain
The apron integrates several features designed to improve working conditions:
- integrated belt providing lumbar support
- ?floating? shoulder effect reducing pressure points
- thick shoulder padding to minimize strain
- unisex design suitable for all body types
This design promotes better weight distribution and helps reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
Fit and size adaptability for optimal support
Available in 6 sizes and 3 lengths, this model ensures precise adjustment for consistent protection.
Proper fitting is essential to:
- maintain radiation protection effectiveness
- avoid unprotected areas
- ensure optimal comfort
The sizing guide helps select the most appropriate configuration.
