Lead and lead-free patient aprons, thyroid collars and the racks that keep them in shape.

Buying guide: X-ray Aprons Show less

Lead-free is lighter, not weaker

Lead-free and lead-composite aprons give the same attenuation at the same stated equivalence, at roughly a third less weight. For a practice taking full-mouth series that difference is felt by the staff lifting them, not just by the patient wearing them. Check the stated lead equivalence (usually 0.25 mm or 0.3 mm Pb) rather than the material name.

Hang them, do not fold them

An apron folded over a chair arm cracks along the fold, and a cracked apron has a hole in its protection that nobody can see. Hang aprons on a proper rack or over a wide bar. Inspect once a year — visually, and radiographically if your state requires it — and retire anything with a crack or a soft spot. A cracked apron is a compliance finding waiting to happen.
