What is Bilayer (Dual-Layer) Technology?

Redefining standards in radiation protective aprons, Edge Bilayer technology is an advanced shielding method designed by combining two distinct protective layers. Instead of a single thick plate, it is manufactured by layering two thin sheets with different physical properties.

This dual-layer structure blocks the scattered X-ray photons passing through the first layer and dampens the secondary scattered radiation in the second layer, creating a much safer protective shield.

Key Features of Edge Bilayer Aprons

Specially produced for clinics where medical staff spend the entire day under radiation, the benefits offered by the Edge Bilayer series are:

Layered Flexibility: The combination of two thin layers makes it easier to bend the apron and adapt to body movements compared to a single thick layer.
Fluid Repellent Exterior: Thanks to its hydrophobic and antibacterial fabric coating, it is resistant to blood, body fluids, and clinical disinfectant stains.
Lightweight Protective Blend: Thanks to its advanced bismuth and antimony formulation, it provides target Pb protection without placing extra weight on the user.

Where Should It Be Preferred?

Edge Bilayer aprons are the ideal choice especially for physicians and auxiliary medical personnel working in interventional radiology rooms, cardiology angio labs, and long surgical operations where long-term fluoroscopy or shooting is performed.
