OverviewThe Urology Protective Apron features a design tailored to the specific requirements of urology procedures. Recommended protection level: 0.5 mm Pb. Design emphasises maximum protection for the surgeon's sensitive areas and increasing significance for healthcare professionals exposed to elevated radiation risk.
Variants- Clip-On (primary variant shown)
- 2 Slit (alternate model)
Design Highlights- Extended front panel with integrated gonad shield to ensure full protection in both seated and standing urology procedures.
- Elastic-backed closure that adapts to body movement for a secure and comfortable fit.
- Velcro fastening (adjustable closure) provides a secure fit and flexible sizing.
- Built-in appendage / additional protection enhances protection for the groin area.

Materials & Protective Cores (ZiCore options)- Minio: Fully leaded protection material with advanced formulation suitable for modalities not requiring prolonged continuous wear.
- Leve: Manufactured from closely stacked lead offering exceptional protection with reduced weight and a consistent, flexible protective core.
- Verde: Lead-free, environment-friendly material using bismuth, tungsten or antimony blends; among the lightest options while providing protection comparable to lead — ideal where weight reduction is critical.
