Core Material Options - Xenolite grades/types

Xenolite NL (No-Lead)- a lead-free, super-lightweight 2-element composite, weighs only 5.2 kg/sq m (9.6 lb/sq yd @ 0.50 mm Pb), is recyclable and safe for non-hazardous disposal. Lead-vinyl is 40% heavier. Code numbered # 800 series, eg # 830VS

Xenolite ("B")- the original lightweight composite, 3-element material, with some lead content, weighs 5.65 kg/ sq m (10.4 lb/sq yd @ 0.50 mm Pb), is mid-priced and recyclable. Lead-vinyl is 30% heavier. Code numbered # 600 series, eg #630VS

EVAL-10- a 100% lead-based, heavy material, 15% lighter than lead-vinyl is used for lower-priced, non-weight sensitive products and for gamma-radiation (Nuclear Med) applications, and >120 kV x-ray procedures (CT-assist, thorax). Code numbered # 900 series, eg #930VS

Protection Level Options

Standard medical x-ray protection levels available include 0.50, 0.35 and 0.25 mm Pb. Front/back protection is usually in the following combinations: 0.50/0.35, 0.50/0.25, 0.35/0.35, 0.35/0.25 & 0.25/0.25. Worldwide, the minimum protection for medical use is 0.25 mm Pb (except Michigan, 0.50). In Europe and other countries adopting IEC 61331-3, the "light-duty" is 0.25 mm Pb, “"heavy-duty"”minimum 0.35 mm Pb (front).

Xenolite Apron Model #, Sizing & Fitting

You or your Radiation Safety officer will be able to determine the best apron model and protection. There are over six models with frontal protection (two for sterile field OR use), several “wrap-coat” special procedure aprons and several vest-skirt designs. We recommend vest-skirts for long procedures requiring front & back protection, due to weight distribution between shoulders and hips.

We have separate patterns for male or female use, with female versions having smaller armholes (for greater breast protection). To fit multiple staff we recommend male sizes.

All orders are custom-made. Usually you will fit into one of our six standard sizes, XS to XXL, or we will make adjustments for length or non-standard measurements.
