Why garment prep and management matter

What To Consider When Purchasing a Maternity Lead Apron

Selecting the right radiation protection equipment ensures staff comfort, safety, and compliance with your facility’s specific needs.

Lead Equivalency and Protection Level

Lead aprons are available in 0.25mm, 0.35mm, and 0.5mm lead equivalency, with 0.5mm providing the highest protection level and blocking approximately 95-99% of scatter radiation. Your department’s exposure levels and procedure types will determine which protection level is appropriate for your team.

Weight and Material Options

Standard lead aprons are the heaviest option, while lead-composite and lead-free alternatives can be 16-40% lighter while maintaining the same protection levels. Lighter-weight options reduce fatigue and upper back stress, making them especially suitable for staff wearing protection during long interventional procedures or all-day in the OR.

Style and Coverage Type

Front protection aprons provide quick on-off convenience for shorter procedures, while wrap-around or vest and skirt combinations offer 360-degree protection for staff with their backs exposed to scatter radiation. Consider your team’s procedural environment and positioning when selecting between frontal, wrap, or two-piece protection styles.

Comfort Features and Fit

Proper fit and weight distribution significantly impact long-term wearability and staff compliance with radiation safety protocols. Look for features like adjustable closures, padded shoulders, ergonomic design, and sizing options that accommodate your team’s range of body types to ensure garments are worn consistently and correctly.

RCS Insights

“When choosing a lead apron, comfort and practicality matter just as much as protection.

Frontal aprons are a top pick for their lightweight feel, making them ideal for quick procedures and easy on-and-off wear—especially when paired with modern lead-free materials. They’re also a great option for a range of body types, including pregnant professionals.

If you need something even more adaptable, some styles, like drop-lead aprons, are perfect for fast-paced ER settings. There are also styles for pregnant professionals.

However, if you’re spending long hours around radiation or need full-body protection, a full-wrap apron or a vest and skirt combo will provide better coverage without sacrificing comfort.”
