Collection: Lead Apron

A lead apron is the basic shield that stands between your team and scattered X-rays in radiology, OT and cath lab. Moreover, on MeddeyGo, the lead apron range covers full-wrap designs, practical half aprons, matching lead gown sets, lead vest combinations and focused accessories like the thyroid shield for neck protection. Consequently, this collection supports everyday lead apron radiology work in X-ray rooms, C-arm theatres, cath labs, dental clinics and mobile imaging across India.

Product Overview

A lead apron is a radiation-protective garment worn over scrubs or OT gowns. In practice, it contains a shielding core that blocks scatter from X-rays and fluoroscopy so that doctors, technicians and nurses can stay close to the patient with reduced exposure. Furthermore, in many hospitals a lead apron, lead gown or lead vest is now treated like standard PPE, just like gloves and masks.

On MeddeyGo, the Lead Apron collection therefore focuses on practical, BARC-aligned and hospital-ready protection:

• Lead Half Apron – 0.5 mm Pb equivalency with soft nylon outer, adjustable tape closure and washable, stain-resistant material.
• Lead Apron Wrap Around – 0.50 mm front + 0.25 mm back Pb equivalency for full-body coverage, ideal for radiology staff and interventional teams.
• Lead Apron with Thyroid Collar – designs that combine a front apron with built-in thyroid shield for X-ray protection and flexible back support.
• X-Ray Protective Thyroid Shield / Thyroid Collar – standalone accessories in 0.35–0.5 mm Pb equivalency, including lightweight RADARMOUR collars.
• Breast Protector Scoliosis Shawl – lead-free NoPb core for chest shielding in scoliosis and spine imaging.
• Gonad Shield – 0.5 mm Pb pelvic shield for paediatric and pelvic X-rays.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Proven shielding for real clinical work

To begin with, common protection levels include 0.5 mm Pb for front protection and 0.25 mm Pb at the back in wrap-around models. In addition, you get options that pair the lead apron with a fixed or detachable thyroid shield for extra neck coverage. As a result, dedicated gonad shields and breast protector shawls help lower dose to sensitive organs in frequent imaging.

2. Ergonomic designs that spread weight

Importantly, flexible back systems and weight adjusters push more load toward the hips and away from the shoulders. At the same time, soft outer fabrics and concealed shoulder pads support long lists in OT or cath lab. Likewise, half apron and lead vest styles let you pair an upper vest with a lower skirt where required, so overall comfort improves without losing protection.

3. Easy care and hospital-ready finishing

From a maintenance point of view, washable, stain-resistant outers on the half protective apron keep cleaning time low. Additionally, stainless-steel racks and trolleys keep garments hanging straight and prevent cracks in the shielding layer. As a result, simple Velcro or tape closures mean staff can put on the apron or lead gown quickly before a case.

4. BARC-linked and quality-focused brands

Finally, IndoSurgicals designs with integrated neck protection and other features are BARC-approved, which aligns with Indian regulatory expectations for radiation protection and assures quality for hospital buyers.

Technical Specifications

Applications / Use Cases

Radiology and imaging departments

In routine radiology, staff move between the console, patient and X-ray unit. Here, a half lead apron or wrap-around protective gown shields abdomen and pelvis, while the thyroid shield protects the neck. Consequently, radiographers and residents who assist with patient positioning can stand closer to the table with better confidence.

OT with C-arm imaging

Orthopaedic and spine surgeons often spend hours with a C-arm in use. Therefore, a full-wrap lead apron radiology model or two-piece lead vest and skirt set spreads weight and gives all-round coverage. In addition, matching neck collars and X-ray goggles complete the personal protection kit for long procedures.

Cath lab and interventional cardiology

In cath lab or neuro-interventional suites, fluoroscopy time can be high. Thus, long, complex cases benefit from:

• Wrap-around protective gown or lead apron with weight adjuster
• Fixed or separate thyroid shield for the neck
• Gonad shields and breast protector shawls when the imaging field allows
• Proper apron rack near the scrub area for safe storage between cases

Dental clinics and small X-ray rooms

Dental surgeons may stand near patients in compact operatories. Therefore, a shorter protective gown or half apron, plus neck collar, keeps protection simple. Meanwhile, wall-mounted hangers save space and keep garments in good condition for daily use.

Paediatric and scoliosis imaging

Children and younger adults are more sensitive to radiation. Consequently, a lead apron, breast protector scoliosis shawl and gonad shield combination lets you shield chest and pelvic regions while still capturing clear spine views, especially during repeated follow-up imaging.

Buying Guide / Expert Tips

List your procedures and rooms
First, note where you need aprons: radiology, OT, cath lab, dental and mobile X-ray. Then, match higher-workload rooms with wrap-around protective gowns or lead vest sets, and reserve lighter areas for half aprons.

Pick protection level
Next, remember that most centres use 0.5 mm Pb front protection for general lead apron radiology use. For back panels, 0.25 mm Pb is common in wrap-around designs. Therefore, always align final specs with your radiation safety officer.

Select style – half apron, lead gown or lead vest

• To start, half apron styles are lighter and good for short exposures.
• In contrast, full protective gowns offer better all-round coverage.
• Finally, lead vest and skirt combinations improve weight distribution for long procedures.

Always add a thyroid shield
In any X-ray room, a dedicated thyroid shield or collar is essential. Accordingly, pick fixed-collar models where you want fewer pieces, or choose separate collars if multiple staff members share one apron.

Plan proper storage
For longevity, get at least a single hanger for each apron and a wall rack or trolley for higher volumes. This way, you prevent folding and extend the life of your protective set.

Check sizes and user comfort
Additionally, ensure length, shoulder width and closures suit your main group of users. Because comfort is key, better fit usually leads to more consistent use of gowns and vest sets.

Standardise SKUs for easier reordering
For hospital chains, it helps to lock in standard SKUs for each lead apron, neck protector, pelvic shield and rack model. Then, new branches can order the same protection profile through MeddeyGo without re-evaluating specs each time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of a lead apron?

A lead apron shields the body from scattered X-rays during imaging and fluoroscopy, so staff can work near the patient with lower exposure.

How is a lead gown different from a half apron?

A lead gown is a wrap-around style that covers front and part of the back, while a half apron protects only the front from waist to knee or mid-calf, so it often needs a thyroid shield and goggles for full protection.

When should I choose a lead vest and skirt?

Choose a lead vest and skirt set for cath lab and interventional OT, where long fluoroscopy times make better weight distribution and comfort important.

What lead equivalency is recommended for routine radiology?

Most hospitals use 0.5 mm Pb front protection and 0.25 mm Pb at the back for routine lead apron radiology work, but final values should follow your radiation safety officer’s advice.

Do I really need a thyroid shield if I already wear a lead apron?

Yes. A separate thyroid shield or built-in collar protects the neck, which stays exposed if you rely only on the lead apron.

How should I store my lead apron and lead gown?

Hang each apron, gown or vest on a proper hanger or rack, avoid folding, and use MeddeyGo’s SS 304 racks or trolleys to prevent cracks in the shielding core.
