Uniray Lightweight Lead Half Apron with Velcro Closure for Radiology

Lightweight and ergonomic anti-X protection for healthcare professionals

A radiation protection solution combining efficiency and reduced weight

The Uniray lightweight lead half apron has been designed to meet the demands of modern radiology environments, where effective protection must go hand in hand with enhanced wearing comfort.

Its frontal design ensures efficient coverage of sensitive areas exposed to scattered radiation, while allowing ease of movement during medical procedures.

This model is suitable for use in conventional radiology, operating rooms, and interventional imaging.

Lightweight lead technology: reducing weight and improving comfort

The material incorporates partial lead substitution, significantly reducing the overall weight without compromising radiation protection performance.

This technology provides:

- a 20 to 30% weight reduction compared to standard materials
- improved comfort during prolonged wear
- reduced strain on the shoulders and back

These features help improve working conditions for professionals exposed over extended periods.

High-performance anti-X protection for radiology applications

The apron ensures effective protection against ionizing radiation under standard operating conditions:

- recommended operating range: 50 to 110 kV
- high attenuation of scattered radiation
- performance tested according to IEC 61331-1 standards

Available lead equivalences
- 0.25 mm Pb: lightweight protection
- 0.35 mm Pb: standard use
- 0.50 mm Pb: enhanced protection

Attenuation data shows performance levels exceeding 99% at lower energy levels, maintaining strong efficiency up to 110 kV.

Regulatory compliance in radiation protection

This apron complies with the requirements for personal protective equipment:

- PPE Category III
- compliant with EU Regulation 2016/425
- CE marking 0120
- conforms to NF EN 61331-3 and IEC 61331-1 standards

These certifications ensure a level of safety aligned with hospital standards.

Functional ergonomics for prolonged use

The Velcro half apron design has been developed for ease of use:

- double Velcro fastening for quick and precise adjustment
- cross-back straps for improved weight distribution
- thick shoulder padding to reduce pressure points
- unisex ergonomic design suitable for different body types

This design enhances comfort and mobility in demanding environments.

Fit and size adaptability

Available in multiple sizes and lengths, this model allows precise adjustment to ensure consistent protection coverage.

A proper fit is essential to maintain effective radiation protection. The sizing guide helps select the most suitable configuration based on body measurements.

Coatings suitable for healthcare environments

Two finishing options are available:

- Nylon offers high resistance to wear and includes antibacterial treatment for intensive use.
- Polyurethane is flexible, easy to clean, stain-resistant, and provides enhanced comfort.

Clinical use

The half apron is particularly suitable for procedures requiring frontal protection combined with good mobility.

It is recommended for environments with moderate exposure to scattered radiation, where ergonomics and reduced weight are key factors.

Customization options

Optional features include:

- internal dosimeter pocket
- chest pocket
- thyroid shield attachment
- custom marking or embroidery
