Features
Each Proguard core material is carefully formulated to more efficiently attenuate portions of the photonspectrum and limit “gaps” in protection due to over-reliance on individual x-ray protective elements. We utilise proper elemental balance to address K-edge concerns for key diagnostic imaging ranges. Our advanced elastomers exhibit the best balance of toughness, flexibility, durability and cracking resistance.
- Antimony/barium provides more efficient attenuation of the photon spectrum below the K-edge window of lead ( 35 – 88 keV)
- Higher Z elements, tungsten, bismuth and lead, are more efficient for stopping higher energy radiation (>9/88 keV) and also cover the K-edge fluorescence window of antimony ( < 35 keV).
Proguard aprons are proudly hand-stitched in the USA with one mission: perfection. The light-weight designs and ergonomic styles are the result of decades of manufacturing experience. Seamless finishes, clean stitching, and elegant curves are what make our aprons best-in-industry.
Customise your garment to fit your needs by choosing from an array of options, including optional pocket options (Plastic or Fabric) and closures (velcro, Buckle).
Add your initials, name, or logo to anywhere on your garments. This will help track and identify your garments, and gives your team a more professional, on-brand look.
