What To Consider When Purchasing A Lead Skirts
Selecting the right radiation protection equipment ensures staff comfort, safety, and compliance with your facility’s specific needs.
Lead Equivalency and Protection Level
Lead skirts are typically available in 0.25 mm, 0.35 mm, and 0.50 mm Pb equivalency, with 0.50 mm offering the highest level of scatter protection. The right protection level depends on how much scatter your staff is exposed to during their procedures. High-scatter environments often require 0.50 mm frontal protection, while 0.35 mm can be appropriate for lower-dose or shorter procedures.
Weight and Material Options
Since skirts carry a significant portion of a garment’s total weight, material choice can make a major difference in comfort. Options include standard lead, lightweight composite, and lead-free cores, which can reduce weight by 16–40% while maintaining the same protection. Lightweight and lead-free skirts reduce hip and lower-back strain, making them ideal for staff who wear PPE for extended cases or full-day rotations.
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 is essential for comfort and compliance. Look for adjustable closures, secure waistbands, and ergonomic shaping that distributes weight across the hips rather than pulling on the lower back. Ensuring the skirt sits correctly and fits the wearer’s waist and hip measurements helps maintain protection and reduce fatigue throughout long procedures.
