Radiation shielding garments like x-ray lead aprons are extremely important to protect against direct and secondary radiation exposure that occurs from different types of imaging procedures. Sometimes it is required to protect certain wearers or specific vulnerable areas of the body with specialty x-ray protection aprons

Types of Specialty X-Ray Aprons

Thyroid Guards

One of the most important things to consider during any imaging procedure is thyroid protection. Thyroid guards, also called thyroid collars, are a vital protection accessory for any type of practice or facility.

 

Techno-Aide's thyroid guards feature a revamped and upgraded multi-purpose design and are offered in three premium lead and lead-free core materials, multiple weight and thickness choices. They are available in the most popular fabric colors, premium-fit unisex sizing for nearly any patient or medical staff, and can be embroidered for free.
