Lead Apron MIMODA Radiology Shield Half Lead 46x45cm Protective Cover

Description

Product Overview

The MIMODA Lead Apron is engineered to meet the demanding safety requirements of modern radiology and industrial inspection settings. Featuring a half‑lead equivalent of 0.5 mm Pb, the apron delivers reliable attenuation of scattered X‑ray photons while maintaining a lightweight profile that reduces fatigue during extended procedures. The lead is evenly distributed throughout a multi‑layer construction that combines high‑grade rubber with durable oxford cloth, ensuring consistent protection across the entire 46 × 45 cm coverage area. The fabric’s tight weave prevents lead migration, preserving the apron’s shielding performance over years of use.

Usage

Designed for both clinical and industrial environments, this apron is ideal for radiology departments, nuclear medicine suites, interventional cardiology labs, veterinary imaging centers, and oil‑field inspection sites where low‑dose radiation instruments are employed. Healthcare professionals such as radiologists, technologists, and surgeons can wear the apron during fluoroscopic procedures, CT scans, and diagnostic X‑ray examinations to protect vital organs from incidental exposure. In industrial contexts, technicians performing non‑destructive testing or pipeline inspections benefit from the same level of protection, making the apron a versatile solution for any setting that demands reliable radiation shielding.

FAQ

What does a 0.5 mm Pb equivalent mean for protection?

It indicates that the apron provides the same level of X‑ray attenuation as a 0.5 mm thick sheet of pure lead, which is sufficient for most diagnostic and low‑dose therapeutic procedures.

Can the apron be washed or disinfected?

Yes, the apron can be gently wiped with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid folding or crushing the material, and store it flat or on a hanger in a low‑humidity environment.

Is the apron suitable for pediatric patients?

While the apron is primarily designed for adult use, its lightweight construction and flexible material make it adaptable for older children under professional supervision.

How long does the protective performance last?

When cared for according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, the apron retains its shielding effectiveness for many years, typically exceeding the standard service life of comparable products.

What certifications does the apron meet?

The apron complies with international radiation safety standards, including IEC 60601‑2‑33 and ASTM F2546, confirming its suitability for clinical and industrial applications.

Durability and Care

The apron’s outer oxford cloth layer resists tears, abrasions, and chemical exposure, while the internal lead‑filled core remains stable under normal handling conditions. To extend the product’s lifespan, store it in a dry environment with relative humidity below 80 % and avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the fabric over time. Regular visual inspections for signs of wear or delamination are recommended, and any damage should be reported to the supplier for assessment.

Compliance and Safety Standards

MIMODA adheres to stringent quality control protocols aligned with IEC 60601‑2‑33, which governs radiation protection devices for medical use, and ASTM F2546, the standard specification for lead aprons. These certifications assure users that the apron meets or exceeds the required attenuation levels, providing confidence in both clinical and field applications. Documentation, including a certificate of compliance, is supplied with each unit for audit and regulatory purposes.

Technical Specifications

Lead Equivalent: 0.5 mm Pb; Size: 46 × 45 cm (18.11 × 17.72 in); Material: Multi‑layer rubber core with reinforced oxford cloth exterior; Weight: Approximately 2.5 kg; Color: Standard white with reflective trim for visibility; Adjustable shoulder straps with quick‑release buckles; Storage: Flat or hanging recommended; Shelf life: Minimum 10 years when stored properly.

Fit and Comfort Details

The apron’s ergonomic contour follows the natural curvature of the torso, reducing pressure points on the shoulders and upper back. Adjustable straps allow users to customize the fit, ensuring the apron stays securely in place without restricting arm movement. Breathable fabric technology helps dissipate heat, making the apron comfortable for prolonged wear during lengthy procedures or inspections.

Industry Applications

Beyond hospital radiology departments, the apron is valuable for veterinary clinics performing diagnostic imaging, research laboratories handling radioactive materials, and field engineers conducting non‑destructive testing on pipelines, welds, and structural components. Its versatile design accommodates a broad spectrum of radiation sources, from conventional X‑ray generators to portable fluoroscopy units.

Maintenance Guidelines

After each use, gently wipe the apron with a damp cloth and a mild, non‑abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive scrubbers that could compromise the protective layers. Allow the apron to air dry completely before storage. Do not fold the apron; instead, hang it on a padded hanger to preserve its shape and prevent lead migration.

Warranty and Service

MIMODA offers a limited two‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use conditions. Should any issue arise, customers can contact the dedicated support team via phone or email to arrange inspection, repair, or replacement. Documentation of purchase and a brief description of the problem expedite the service process.

Environmental Impact

The apron is constructed with recyclable materials where possible, and the lead core is encapsulated to prevent environmental contamination. At the end of its service life, the product can be returned to MIMODA for responsible recycling, ensuring that hazardous components are handled in compliance with environmental regulations.
