The Hidden Burden on Radiology

Managing Lead Aprons Without the Tools or Time

Radiology teams are often responsible for lead garments across the entire hospital—but without extra support or systems to manage them. From missed cleanings to lost inventory, the process is messy, manual, and rarely top priority. Aprons pile up. Spreadsheets get outdated. And when audits roll around, it all lands on your desk.

RCS takes that weight off your team. We handle the disinfection, repairs, inspections, and tracking—while RadComply keeps your records organized and audit-ready. It’s full-service lead apron management that helps you stay compliant, protect your staff, and get back to focusing on patients.

Lead Aprons Shouldn’t Be One More Thing to Manage

Reliable protection without the paperwork, guesswork, or cleanup

Radiology teams often inherit the job of managing lead aprons across the entire hospital—without the tools, time, or support to do it well. Between shared garments, missed cleanings, and piles of broken aprons waiting for attention, it’s easy for compliance and safety to slip. RCS steps in with full-service apron care that keeps your program audit-ready, your documentation in order, and your team focused on imaging—not inventory.

  • Professional sanitization removes harmful bacteria from shared-use garments
  • Complimentary repairs keep aprons in safe, functional condition
  • Annual integrity scans catch damage early and support Joint Commission compliance
  • Inventory tracking in RadComply® eliminates the need for spreadsheets or binders

Less Headache, More Oversight

Full-service lead apron care with documentation you don’t have to chase

Radiology teams are often handed the responsibility of managing lead garments for the entire hospital—but rarely get the tools or time to do it right. Aprons get shared, forgotten, or dumped in closets while your team is left scrambling during audits. RCS turns this into a streamlined, documented program that keeps your garments clean, compliant, and out of your way.

Disinfected & Safe

Professional cleaning removes pathogens, like Staph. aureus, MRSA, and ringworm, commonly found on untreated garments.

Verified Protection

Annual X-ray scans detect hidden damage that visual inspections miss, supporting radiation safety across every department you cover.

Ready for Audits

Every cleaning, scan, and repair is recorded in RadComply, so your documentation is done before anyone asks.

Fewer Replacements

Minor repairs are handled proactively, keeping garments in service longer and protecting your budget from preventable spend.
