OverviewFrontal Coat Apron (Coat Apron) is a protective medical garment designed for X‑ray rooms and selected surgical procedures. It provides frontal coverage from shoulders to below the knees and is produced to meet IEC 61331-3:2014 requirements. This open-front apron offers a minimum protection level of 0.25 mmPb and is intended for clinical environments where frontal radiation shielding is required.
Model - Buckle (product variant)The Buckle variant replaces Velcro with a clip-on buckle closure to improve hygiene and cleaning. A cross-back buckle belt secures an adjustable fit while removing elastic components to simplify maintenance.
Key Features- Frontal coverage: covers approximately 60% of body girth in accordance with IEC 61331-3:2014.
- Side protection: arm-hole geometry optimized for lateral shielding.
- Integrated sleeve: provides lateral protection to red bone marrow areas.
- Buckle closure: clip-on buckle and cross-back configuration for hygienic, adjustable fixation without elastic parts.
Materials & TechnologyZiCore radiation-protection formulations available for this apron include Minio, Leve, Verde and Svelte, each balancing attenuation and weight for specific clinical needs:
- Minio — fully leaded formulation for standard attenuation, suited for shorter-duration use.
- Leve — closely stacked lead for strong protection with reduced weight and better flexibility.
- Verde — lead-free blends (bismuth/tungsten/antimony) offering low weight, recommended for surgeons and long procedures.
- Svelte — hybrid lead/lead-free materials (antimony/bismuth/tungsten) 20–30% lighter, ideal for extended-use settings such as cathlabs.
Outer Fabric (ZiFab)ZiFab outer fabric properties: anti-microbial, skin-friendly, stain-resistant (including betadine), fully waterproof, contaminant-resistant, wrinkle-resistant and easy to clean.
