All Full Wrap Aprons offer maximum
protection. These aprons combine comfort with superior lumbar support which
reduces fatigue and upper back stress during long procedures.
All Wrap Aprons come with
standard features:
* Shoulder pads
* Pocket
* Adjustable 7" (18 cm) elastic belt comes standard with the Special Procedure
Apron (6201/8201) and the Overwrap Apron (6250/8250)
Tabbard Style Apron:
* Right shoulder and side velcro closure allow for easy access
* Simple single piece design makes this model extremely light
* Unisex sizes

XENOLITE No-Lead
Competitive Feature Benefits
The following
is a fact-based* comparison of XENOLITE NO-LEAD versus other lead-free aprons in
the USA. These competitive aprons are all based on tin or tin-antimony
attenuating materials, whereas XENOLITE NO-LEAD is a scientifically balanced,
proprietary, patented mixture of two complementary attenuating elements
providing lighter weight and better protection
·
XENOLITE NO-LEAD
is the world's lightest-weight apron material when compared at equal protection
(80 kV-120kV).
·
Tin-based
competitive materials are 15 to 30% heavier for the same protection.
·
XENOLITE NO-LEAD
delivers and guarantees its stated mm Pb protection at 100 kV. Most tin-based
products are designed and tested at only 80 kV which is their peak protection.
They do not provide the stated/label protection at 100 kV where there is two to
three times greater transmission and exposure than at 80 kV.
·
XENOLITE NO-LEAD
is the only lead-free material in the USA which meets the tough new IEC world
standard for apron protection (IEC 61331-3/1) at both the 80 kV & 100 kV test
levels, with 0.15/0.25 mID Cu filtration.
·
Several
scientific papers have been written about the XENOLITE NO-LEAD innovative
technology. It has been tested and approved by hospitals and government
agencies in over 10 countries, complying with DIN, JIS and CE marking EC
requirements.
·
At the high kV of
some: special procedures (120 kV) the tin-based competitors lose over 20% of
their protection. They are well below 0.40mm Pb. This means a 70% higher
exposure. XENOLITE NO-LEAD provides the most consistent protection over the
range 60 kV-125 kV and has up to 20% lower transmissions.
·
Beware of aprons
with labels that do not show protection as mm Pb but only as % attenuation.
They may be disguising true protection values. One apron states "> 84%
attenuation at 100 kV". This means 16% is getting through, two to three times
more exposure than XENOLITE NO-LEAD'S 0.50 mm Pb apron and almost double its
0.35mm Pb apron.
·
XENOLITE NO-LEAD
is the only truly recyclable material and it is re-used to make new aprons.
Alternatively, it can be incinerated or safety disposed of in municipal
landfills as a non-hazardous wast. It contains no toxic heavy metals.
·
XENOLITE NO-LEAD
is latex-free and does no use plasticized PVC/vinyl. PVC/vinyl contains both
chlorinated hydrocarbons (a toxic hazard when incinerated) and phthalate
plasticizers (a group of compounds in which several are banned due to toxicity).
