Uniray BACKSAVER Lightweight Lead Half Apron for Radiology
Ergonomic anti-X protection with gathered back design and reduced spinal strain
An innovative gathered back design for optimal fit

The Uniray BACKSAVER lightweight lead half apron features a gathered back design, allowing precise morphological adjustment and improved fit to the user.

This design enhances body conformity, reduces gaps, and ensures consistent radiation protection while improving comfort during movement.

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

BACKSAVER technology: reducing 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

These features make it an ideal solution for professionals exposed for extended periods.

Lightweight lead technology: performance and comfort

The lightweight lead material is based on partial lead substitution, significantly reducing apron weight while maintaining high radiation protection performance.

- 20 to 30% weight reduction
- improved comfort during extended wear
- reduced strain on shoulders and back

The apron provides effective protection across an operating range of 50 to 110 kV.

High-performance anti-X protection for radiology applications

The BACKSAVER apron ensures high attenuation of ionizing radiation:

- attenuation levels exceeding 99% at low energy
- maintained efficiency up to 110 kV
- performance tested according to IEC 61331-1 standards

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

These performance levels meet the requirements of demanding healthcare environments.

Regulatory compliance in radiation protection

This model 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 for healthcare professionals.

Advanced ergonomics for prolonged procedures

The apron integrates multiple features designed to enhance comfort:

- gathered back design for precise fit
- integrated belt for improved support and weight distribution
- thick shoulder padding to reduce pressure points
- ?floating? shoulder effect to minimize strain

This ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue and improve working conditions during long procedures.

Fit and size adaptability

Available in 6 sizes and 3 lengths, this model adapts to all body types.

A sizing guide helps ensure optimal fit and continuous protection.

Coatings suitable for healthcare environments

Two finishing options are available:

Nylon provides high wear resistance and includes antibacterial treatment for intensive use.

Polyurethane is soft, comfortable, easy to clean, and stain-resistant, making it ideal for hospital environments.
