Uniray Lightweight Lead Surgeon Half Apron for Radiology
Lightweight and ergonomic anti-X protection for operating rooms
A radiation protection apron designed for operating room constraints
The Uniray lightweight lead surgeon half apron is specifically designed for use in operating rooms, where radiation protection must meet strict requirements for sterility, mobility, and efficiency.
Its frontal design provides complete coverage of the thoracic and abdominal areas, while allowing easy wear under a sterile gown and quick removal between procedures.
Lightweight lead technology: reduced weight and improved comfort
The lightweight lead material is based on partial lead substitution, significantly reducing the apron?s weight without compromising its protective performance.
This technology provides:
- a 20 to 30% reduction in weight compared to standard materials
- improved comfort during prolonged wear
- reduced strain on the shoulders and back
The apron ensures effective protection within a 50 to 110 kV operating range, suitable for common radiology and interventional procedures.
High-performance anti-X protection
The apron delivers strong attenuation of ionizing radiation under standard operating conditions:
- attenuation levels exceeding 99% at low energy
- consistent performance up to 110 kV
- 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 0598
- 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.
Ergonomics tailored for surgical practice
The surgeon half apron is designed to enhance comfort in operating room environments:
- optimized weight distribution
- thick shoulder padding to reduce pressure points
- design compatible with sterile gown use
- quick handling between procedures
These features improve working conditions during long procedures.
Fit and size adaptability
Available in 6 sizes and 3 lengths, this model ensures precise adjustment for each user.
A proper fit is essential to guarantee consistent and effective radiation protection.
