Burlington Medical Princess Vest

Burlington Medical

The Burlington Medical Princess Vest is a female-contoured radiation-protection vest engineered with Burlington Medical’s patented Princess Seam design, a shaping technology that creates a convex, anatomically correct contour through the chest, axilla, lymph nodes, and front neck area. This innovation eliminates the fit issues common in unisex garments, reducing gapping, relieving pressure on the breasts, and delivering superior protection for sensitive tissues that are at higher risk for radiation-related harm, including breast and lymphatic structures.

By replacing angular unisex patterning with a truly female-specific shape, the vest improves mobility, comfort, and protective coverage. The tailored design reduces excess closure material, cuts overall weight, and balances load distribution across the shoulders and hips to help lower musculoskeletal strain during long procedures. A tether ring is included unless otherwise specified, and the vest may be paired with a skirt (sold separately) for wraparound coverage. Front protection is available in 0.25 mm, 0.35 mm, and 0.50 mm Pb equivalency.

  • Description

    The Burlington Medical Princess Vest uses patented Princess Seam construction to create a convex, female-specific contour that molds to the breasts, axilla, lymph nodes, and front neck tissues. This reduces pressure points, eliminates gapping, and improves radiation protection of sensitive areas. Front protection options include 0.25 mm, 0.35 mm, and 0.50 mm Pb. A tether ring is included, and the vest pairs with a Burlington Medical skirt for full wraparound protection.

What To Consider When Purchasing A Lead Vest

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

Lead Equivalency and Protection Level

Lead Vests 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 vests 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 you’re choosing a Burlington lead vest, comfort and protection are the big things to keep in mind.

Lightweight or lead-free materials can make long procedures easier on your back and shoulders, and getting the right fit goes a long way toward making sure the vest is worn correctly and consistently.

Burlington’s vests are known for being durable, well-made, and genuinely comfortable, which makes them a dependable choice for anyone who needs reliable upper-body radiation protection.”
