Most of us have all had an experience getting x-rays at some point in our lives. Whether you've had broken bones or even had a simple dental x-ray,
chances are that at some point in your life you have worn the heavy lead apron for protection from radiation. If you work as a radiation technician, you wear heavy, warm protection all day. There aren’t many easy ways to provide cooling relief.
We recently announced the launch of our new X-Ray Vest and Skirt & X-Ray Apron to our Cools Aids personal cooling products line. It features a
coated nylon fabric exterior and equipped with lead-free core material, the X-Ray Vest and Skirt & X-Ray Apron are designed to keep individuals cool, while also protected from radiation exposure.
The X-Ray Vest and Skirt include both Velcro® and buckles for quick release, with weight being evenly distributed between the shoulders and hips
for maximum comfort during long procedures, included are pockets in the front and back of the vest for Cool Pax to help manage the core body temperature of the wearer. The vest has core material that is 0.5 mm lead equivalency at the overlap for front protection
and 0.25 mm lead equivalency back protection.
The X-Ray Apron is equipped with Velcro® adjustable shoulder straps to help keep the apron secure. The pockets in the front and back are designed
to hold Cool Pax that will help manage the core body temperature of the wearer. The six-inch elastic supports sewn in the back panel helps distribute weight from the shoulders and hips for added back support and comfort. The core material is 0.5 mm lead equivalency
for frontal protection.
Stay safe and stay cool!
