Kerr TotalCare lead-free x-ray aprons and ponchos

Product Details

Once you feel the weight difference, you’ll never want to go back to leaded aprons. Xenolite™ alloy sheeting provides protection equivalent to lead, yet weighs 30% less. Non-slip, corduroy backing prevents apron from slipping on the patient. Plus, disposal of lead-free aprons is much easier on the environment.

                                              Clinical Evaluations

                                              Company Logo
                                              Dux Lead-free X-ray Aprons earned 4.7 stars out of a possible 5.0.
                                              Strengths:
                                              Reduced weight was well appreciated by staff members and patients. It was considered to be much more comfortable and just as safe compared to a conventional one. The corduroy lining keeps it relatively slip-resistant. The thyroid shield, being attached to the apron, tends to fit better than a conventional one. If you don't purchase the poncho version for use when taking a panoramic x-ray, you can fold down the collar, which will lay flat. And, of course, no lead, which follows the trend in many industries including paint, gasoline, and glassware. They have begun or have already totally eliminated the use of lead from their products due to environmental issues relating to its eventual disposal and to its intrinsic toxicity. Although it has not been linked to any harmful side effects in dentistry, especially in x-ray aprons, this product will take us one step closer to lead elimination. Xenolite-NL, the material used in this product, presumably does not have toxicity issues in its own right.

                                              Weaknesses:
                                              Weight is lower, but don't think that this apron is a lightweight - it still weighs about 4.0lbs. This means we were unable to substantiate the manufacturer's claims that it weighs 50% less than a conventional one, as our calculation came closer to a 25% reduction. Folding collar for panoramic exposures did not totally eliminate the white area caused by the apron. A properly positioned poncho version should eliminate that problem. The price is at least double that of a conventional type.

                                              Bottom line:
                                              It's more environmentally safe and comfortable than the typical lead apron and, since you don't buy an apron every day, the higher cost is probably justifiable.
