X-Ray Protective Apron

X-Ray Protective Aprons are specialized garments designed to protect healthcare professionals and patients from the harmful effects of radiation during medical imaging procedures, such as X-rays. These aprons are classified under the supply class "Hospital And Surgical Clothing And Related Special Purpose Items" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."

X-Ray Protective Aprons are typically made of lead or lead-equivalent materials, which have high atomic numbers and are effective in absorbing and blocking radiation. They are available in various sizes and styles to accommodate different body types and imaging needs.

These aprons are worn by healthcare professionals, such as radiologists, radiologic technologists, and nurses, who are regularly exposed to radiation in their work. They are also used to protect patients, particularly those who are undergoing frequent or prolonged imaging procedures.

X-Ray Protective Aprons are an essential safety measure in medical facilities where X-ray imaging is performed. They help minimize the risk of radiation exposure and protect the health and well-being of both healthcare providers and patients.
