Patients are already apprehensive when they enter an x-ray clinic. Why place a heavy, leaded apron over them and increase their anxiety?
With the MarShield lead free x-ray apron, the user is both comfortable and safe. The light weight of the product is both patient and operator friendly while affording almost the same protection as the leaded version.
Lead-Free Aprons offer added comfort, particularly for the user who must wear one all day.
Non-toxic, recyclable sheeting provides protection comparable to lead aprons when shielding against harmful radiation. This durable apron will last for many years. Reports have shown that the MarShield Non-Leaded Apron is safer and lighter than most traditional leaded aprons and resists cracking. This is a result of a technologically advanced material replacing antiquated leaded X-ray aprons. In addition, the aprons are recyclable and safer for patients and operators due to the elimination of lead. Apron life expectancy is usually longer than conventional aprons when handled according to manufacturer's recommendations.
