WALDENT LEAD APRON

A lead apron is a type of protective barrier that acts as a radiation shield. It is constructed of a thin rubber exterior and an interior of lead in the shape of a hospital apron.

BARC Certified (Certificate available on Request)

INDICATIONS:

• To reduce exposure from X-Rays to vital organs that are potentially exposed to ionizing radiation during dental/medical imaging that uses x-rays.

ADVANTAGE:

• Lead aprons are proven to reduce the amount of ionizing radiation exposure to reproductive organs.
• Reduce exposure of vital organs.

Key Specifications

• 0.35 mm Lead equivalency front protection provides about 70% attenuation even in high energy (kVp) beams. 

Direction to Use

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

General:

All radiation protection aprons should be regularly checked and monitored for substrate integrity. We recommends a minimum of two inspections annually. Any protective apron that shows holes, tears or radiation leakage must be taken out of service immediately and either repaired or destroyed.

Storage:

Aprons should always be properly hung on a rack or hanger specifically designed for protective apron storage. Never fold, crease or stack an apron. Avoid sharp objects. Core material is fragile and once punctured renders an apron unusable & will allow radiation to pass to the wearer.

Cleaning:

Use only warm water and mild detergent or our specially formulated apron cleaner. Never use harsh chemicals and never use commercial or machine washing or drying on aprons.

Disinfecting:

NEVER use a steam autoclave as the heat will cause severe damage to the protective substrate. Aprons can be ETO gas sterilized or disinfected with Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide Spray or Wipes.
