Product ID: AP-BA

The Buckle Apron comes standard with an easy-release buckle allowing for quick removal of the apron. The belt is adjustable to accommodate different sizes. Criss-cross back straps provide a secure, comfortable fit.

Included Options:

• Thyroid Collar
• Embroidery
• Pocket
• Print fabrics

Optional Comfort Add-ons:

• Backstrap - A thick Velcro strap found on the back of an apron, usually a frontal protection apron, which secures one shoulder area to the other. A backstrap provides a secure, comfortable fit by not allowing the apron to slip on your
• CoolGuard Back Mesh - A flexible, aerated fabric which is added to the apron's back closure panels to increase air flow and improve comfort.
• Flex Elastic - A flexible, elastic material, integrated into the back closure panels of the apron which, when engaged, provides comfort by shifting the apron's weight from the shoulders to the hips.

Optional Protection Add-ons

• Auxiliary Wings - Auxiliary wings can be added on to your aprons' armpit area. Wings are especially important for women to cover breast tissue that resides in their upper chest/armpit area.
• Side Extensions - The side extensions add-on increases a front protection apron's coverage around your hips. The apron is widened around the leg/hip area to provide additional lateral protection from x-ray exposure.

Radiation Protection

• Front - Standard 0.50 Lead (Pb) Equivalence
• Back - N/A
• Core Material Options - Lead (ST), Light Lead (LW), Ultralite Lead (UL), Lead-free (LF), Premier Lead-Free (PR), Bilayer (BI)
• Lead Equivalence - 0.50, .35, and .25 (Pb) LE

Core Material Protection Options

• Standard Lead (USA ASTM and EU IEC compliance)
• Our standard lead option is the heaviest of the four core materials we offer. Though heavy, pure lead vinyl is the most affordable material and consistently provides protection over a wide range of kVp.

Light-Weight Lead (ASTM Compliance)

• Over 10% lighter than standard lead. Our light-weight lead provides protection equal to traditional lead aprons while providing an excellent reduction in weight.

Ultralite Lead(ASTM Compliance)

• A trade secret blend of lead, antimony, bismuth, and additional attenuating elements all perfectly combined in one homogeneous, ultra lite weight layer. Ultralite lead is within 1% of Lead-Free's weight, yet is more affordable and protective due to its lead content.

Lead-Free(ASTM Compliance)

• Our lead free vinyl is 20% lighter than lead and 10% lighter than light lead. It is environmentally safe and can be disposed of through normal waste procedures.

Premier(ASTM Compliance)

• Premier vinyl represents a breakthrough in core material technology. Premier is lead-free, 30% lighter than lead and 8 - 10% lighter than our lead-free material. Premier is ideal for long procedures. When compared to competitors, Premier has no equal.

Bilayer(USA ASTM and EU IEC compliance)

• Bilayer is a proprietary, multi layer configuration comprised of Antimony and Bismuth. Together, these elements meet new IEC 61331-1 standards and properly block x-ray from 50 kVp to 150 kVp. Protech's bilayer material is lead-free, light-weight, and disposable. Due to the prevailing standards in the USA, Bilayer will be more expensive and slightly heavier than an ASTM (US) compliant lead-free apron.
