Radiation Protection

Keeping radiation protection gear like aprons, vests, and skirts in top condition is essential—not only for the longevity of the gear itself but also to maintain its protective properties. Without proper storage, these garments can crease, crack, or lose their protective layers over time, reducing their effectiveness and putting wearers at risk.

That’s where apron racks come in. Available in mobile and wall-mounted options, apron racks keep your gear neatly organized and easily accessible while extending its lifespan. With a variety of designs to suit any storage space or preference, Z&Z Medical offers apron racks that protect your investment and support the well-being of your team. Choose from our wide selection to find the perfect fit for your needs!

It’s important that we do our part and recycle all those old lead x-ray aprons that may be laying around. As we know, lead is very harmful to the environment and must be disposed of properly. It’s important to note that some states may have different regulations and requirements than others, so check your local disposal regulations. 

A few ways for lead apron disposal:

1. Contact a recycling company. You can contact a local recycling (or “re-claimer”) scrap metal company and see if they recycle lead products.
2. Contact your hazardous waste carrier or handling company. Sometimes a local hazardous waste carrier or handling company will come to you and pick-up the lead apron. It’s important to follow your state and local regulations and check to confirm the handling company is licensed.
3. Bring your aprons to a local landfill. Many local landfills will accept lead aprons however, sometimes landfills won’t accept lead aprons with large cracks or damage due to high toxicity levels.

There may be more ways to dispose of lead aprons but these are the most common and appropriate disposal methods. It’s important to know that you cannot throw away lead aprons in the regular trash!

In any office, clinic, or department equipped with a C-Arm, staff safety is paramount. One of the best investments to ensure this safety is the use of C-Arm Table X-Ray Scatter Drapes. Designed to minimize dangerous scatter radiation, these drapes act as an essential protective barrier between the C-Arm’s X-ray source and your staff, reducing exposure and lowering dosimeter badge readings significantly.

Why Scatter Drapes Are Essential

Scatter radiation is an inevitable byproduct of X-ray imaging, especially in procedures requiring extended or high-frequency use of C-Arms. Without proper shielding, this radiation exposes staff to unnecessary health risks. Scatter drapes offer a simple, effective solution to mitigate this hazard, absorbing radiation at the source and minimizing exposure.

Benefits of C-Arm Table Scatter Drapes:

• Enhanced Protection: Reduce scatter radiation exposure to staff, promoting a safer work environment.
• Lower Badge Readings: Consistent use of scatter drapes helps keep dosimeter badge readings low, ensuring that your facility stays within regulatory limits.
• Cost-Effective Safety Measure: Investing in scatter drapes not only protects staff but also can save on potential health-related costs down the line.

For any practice using C-Arm technology, these drapes are not just recommended—they’re a necessity. Equip your team with the best tools for safety and peace of mind.
