1
Inspect Before Use: Examine the apron for signs of damage, cracks, or excessive creasing before each use. Any visible damage requires removal from service.
2
Don the Apron: Place the apron over your shoulders and adjust the position for even weight distribution across the torso.
3
Fasten the Straps: Secure the Velcro straps firmly around the waist and hips to transfer weight from the shoulders and maintain a stable fit.
4
Check Coverage: Confirm the apron adequately covers the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and upper legs before entering the radiation field.
5
Add Thyroid Collar if Needed: For procedures where neck exposure is a concern, add a compatible thyroid collar for additional protection over the thyroid gland.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Lead equivalency measures how much radiation attenuation an apron provides relative to a reference thickness of pure lead. A 0.34 mm lead equivalency means the apron attenuates scattered radiation as effectively as 0.34 mm of solid lead, offering a practical balance between protection and wearer comfort for routine imaging environments.
BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre) is an Indian government institution responsible for nuclear research and radiation safety standards. BARC certification confirms that this apron has been independently tested and verified to meet recognized national standards for radiation attenuation, providing assurance that the stated lead equivalency claim is accurate.
No. The package contains only the main apron. The high-neck design provides extended upper-body coverage, but a separate thyroid collar is recommended for procedures where neck exposure is a concern. Contact us to enquire about compatible thyroid collar options.
No. The apron must always be stored flat or hung on a dedicated apron hanger. Folding or creasing can crack or delaminate the internal shielding material, creating gaps in protection that may not be visible from the outside without fluoroscopic inspection.
Wipe the exterior with mild detergent and warm water, or use approved hydrogen peroxide disinfectant wipes. Do not autoclave, machine wash, or immerse the apron in harsh chemicals, as this will damage the internal shielding material.
Yes. This lead apron is suitable for veterinary professionals who are present during animal X-ray procedures and require occupational radiation protection. Always verify that the apron meets your local veterinary radiation safety requirements.
Perform routine visual inspections before each use and schedule periodic fluoroscopic inspections per your facility's quality assurance protocol. Any visible cracks, unusual creases, or areas of damage identified during fluoroscopic inspection are grounds for immediate retirement from service.
