At Techno-Aide, we're committed to providing a wide range of products and solutions needed to keep you as safe as possible. And because we strive to be your one-stop-shop for imaging solutions, we want to make sure you and your patients are protected head-to-toe from harmful and dangerous radiation exposure. To help you out, here is a top-down list of the best x-ray protection apparel and supplies you need.  

Radiation Glasses

Let's begin with eye protection. Your eyes are one of the most vulnerable body parts yet they are often left uncovered and exposed. To prevent damaging effects to your eyes and your vision, invest in a high-quality pair of radiation glasses. 

We suggest wearing top-of-the-line Standard Radiation Safety Glasses. These protective glasses feature a wraparound design with dual removable side shields to give you maximum protection. Each pair of safety glasses has rubber-coated temple bars and a saddle bridge nose pad to offer a secure and comfortable fit. These frames also provide an additional 0.5mm lateral protection.

Thyroid Collars

Another very important area to consider protecting during imaging procedures is the neck and thyroid. The thyroid is one of the most radiation-sensitive parts of the body, and not protecting it puts you at a greater risk for cancer, especially at a young age. 

Thyroid collars, also called thyroid guards or thyroid shields, are an essential protection accessory for all ages. Try our No Binding Thyroid Guard for the overall best protection, comfort, and look. Pediatric Thyroid Guards are appropriately sized for younger patients to provide superior thyroid safety to children during imaging procedures with all of the same features as standard thyroid collars. 

Radiation Gloves

Don't leave your hands and fingers susceptible to radiation exposure. Wearing radiation gloves is a vital solution to keep your extremities covered. Our Premium Full Coverage Radiation Safety Finger Gloves feature industry-leading quality and long-lasting durable protection from dangerous radiation exposure. These safety gloves are a great way to safeguard your hands for all-day use and feature a soft and supple inner lining with five individual finger slots for increased dexterity during complex procedures. 

X-Ray Lead Aprons

Next, you need to protect your body with an x-ray apron. Whether just the upper body, lower body, or the entire body, there are many options for you to choose the right x-ray lead apron. 

If you only need to protect your chest or the front of your upper body, try our new and improved Front Protection X-Ray Aprons. This is Techno-Aide's most popular style of radiation protection aprons because they offer premium protection at an economic price. A front protection apron is suitable only if the wearer won't be requiring any protection for the back. 

If you require both front and back lead shielding of the torso, you should consider the Full Wrap Vest. These premium vests feature a simple, high-quality unisex design with an incredibly sturdy Velcro-style connection for a snug and comfortable fit that doesn't put weight on your shoulders giving you complete upper body protection. 

The Full Wrap Skirt is designed to shield only the lower body. These high-quality skirts are made with the same Velcro-style hook & loop band, and an additional 2" safety buckle for a secure and perfect fit. 

Finally, if you need complete protection for the whole body, we suggest a Full Wrap Apron. All of the same features as our vests and skirts, but offered as a full protection x-ray lead apron. 

Now that you are thoroughly protected top to bottom, it's important to take good care of your radiation protection items. Read more about The Best Lead Apron Storage and Lead Apron Hangers as well as How to Clean & Care for X-Ray Protection Aprons.
