Nano - A "Weigh" Better Alternative

Lead aprons are a necessary protective element in the defense against radiation exposure during medical fluoroscopic procedures. Many medical personnel wear radiation protective garments for hours every day and those garments are HEAVY. It's no secret that heavy lead aprons can adversely affect your musculoskeletal health over a long period of time (and sometimes even in the short term). There are other options which do not include aprons, but they carry massive price tags and are not a rational solution to cure the apron weight problem.

Fortunately, the weight is over! Protech’s Nano core material is made of a proprietary blend of x-ray protective metals and rare earth elements that deliver optimal kV protection at a fraction of the weight of traditional lead aprons. Nano is the lightest material available on the market, designed exclusively to reduce the weight of your apron and prolong musculoskeletal health.

Environmental Innovation

The radiation safety industry has a heavy reliance on known toxic substances. Protech’s innovative, lead-free core materials use minimal to no antimony in achieving its overall protection mission. Antimony’s place is taken by other, safer alternatives such as Cerium and Rare Earth Oxides as well as Bismuth, Tungsten, and Barium. Using a combination of elements is critical in providing balanced protection across a wide range of diagnostic imaging kV ranges.

We make every effort to accurately record its apron weights. Because each category is averaged, the numbers we provide in the weight chart are subject to a +/- 15% weight variance. Minor length or width adjustments, including heavier fabrics, are not differentiated and instead, averaged together. Please consider this when referencing the weight chart.
