Uniray BACKSAVER Lightweight Lead Jacket for Radiology
Ergonomic anti-X protection with reduced back strain and optimized comfort
A radiation protection jacket designed to improve working conditions

The Uniray BACKSAVER lightweight lead jacket is a personal protective equipment (PPE) solution developed for healthcare professionals exposed to ionizing radiation during long or repetitive procedures.

Its advanced BACKSAVER ergonomic design optimizes weight distribution between the shoulders, back, and integrated belt to reduce the physical strain associated with prolonged useof radiation protection equipment.

The BACKSAVER system can reduce up to 50% of the load applied to the back, helping minimize muscular fatigue and back tension during extended procedures.

This jacket is particularly suitable for:

- interventional radiology
- operating rooms
- interventional cardiology
- fluoroscopy-guided procedures
- environments requiring prolonged use of anti-X PPE

Lightweight lead technology: effective protection with reduced weight

The lightweight lead material is based on partial lead substitution, significantly reducing the overall weight of the jacket while maintaining a high level of protection.

This technology provides:

- 20?30% weight reduction compared to standard materials
- improved tolerance during prolonged wear
- reduced strain on shoulders and back
- enhanced user comfort

The material effectively protects users within an operating range of 50 to 110 kV.

High-performance anti-X protection

The BACKSAVER jacket provides excellent attenuation of ionizing radiation under standard radiology operating conditions.

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

Certified attenuation performance
- up to 99.85% attenuation at 60 kV (0.50 mm Pb)
- 97.78% attenuation at 90 kV (0.50 mm Pb)
- 95.72% attenuation at 110 kV (0.50 mm Pb)
- over 92% attenuation at 110 kV (0.35 mm Pb)

Performance values are measured according to IEC 61331-1:2014.

Regulatory compliance in radiation protection

The Uniray BACKSAVER jacket complies with European PPE requirements:

- PPE Category III
- compliant with EU Regulation 2016/425
- CE marking 0598 / 0120 depending on configuration
- compliant with NF EN 61331-3:2014
- tested according to IEC 61331-1:2014

These certifications guarantee a high level of safety for healthcare professionals exposed to ionizing radiation.

Advanced ergonomics for long-lasting comfort

The BACKSAVER jacket integrates several ergonomic features designed to improve working conditions:

- integrated belt with lumbar support
- shoulder floating effect reducing pressure points
- thick shoulder padding as standard
- unisex cut suitable for different body types
- optimized weight distribution to reduce back strain

This design helps minimize musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) associated with daily use of lead PPE.

Precise fit and body adaptability

Available in multiple sizes and lengths, the BACKSAVER jacket ensures precise adjustment for every user.

Available sizing guide
- sizes: XS to 3XL
- lengths: 50 or 60 cm

The sizing guide provided in the technical datasheet helps users select the most suitable jacket according to body shape and height, ensuring consistent protection and optimal comfort.

Coatings adapted to healthcare environments

Two professional finishing options are available:

Nylon
- high wear resistance
- antibacterial treatment
- suitable for intensive use

Polyurethane
- antibacterial
- soft and comfortable
- stain-resistant
- easy to clean and disinfect

Up to 14 color options are available depending on the selected finish.

Clinical use

The lightweight lead BACKSAVER jacket is particularly recommended for:

- long fluoroscopy-guided procedures
- environments involving high physical strain
- users seeking improved ergonomic comfort
- procedures requiring prolonged anti-X protection wear

It is an ideal solution for combining high-performance radiation protection, reduced weight, and long-term user comfort.

Customization options
