The Gear You Rely On, Managed the Right Way

Full-service lead apron care for busy cath labs.

In the cath lab, lead aprons are used daily but rarely get the attention they need—until there’s a problem. From shared garments that don’t get disinfected between cases to failed buckles and missing documentation, the burden of managing protective apparel often lands on already maxed-out staff. RCS makes it easy to keep your garments clean, functional, and audit-ready—without the guesswork or the spreadsheet.
