What is Edge Bilayer technology?
Edge Bilayer is a two-layer special inner material technology developed for radiation protective aprons to deliver both lightness and high protection. The weight of traditional lead aprons can lead to serious musculoskeletal disorders for physicians and radiology technicians.
To solve this problem, Edge Bilayer consists of optimized layers of elements like antimony and bismuth. This double-layer structure provides maximum protection against scattered radiation with minimal weight.
Advantages of the Bilayer (Double-Layer) structure
Using two different protective layers together absorbs and blocks scattered radiation beams much more effectively than a single thick layer. The primary benefits of this technology are:
- High Ergonomics and Flexibility: The two-layer structure allows the apron to adapt perfectly to body movements and remain softer.
- Weight Reduction: It is 20% to 30% lighter than traditional lead aprons, thereby reducing fatigue during long interventional procedures.
- Reliable Protection Standard: It complies fully with IEC 61331-1:2014 and IEC 61331-3:2014 standards, meeting the highest safety margin.
Why should you choose it?
For physicians and healthcare professionals with long-term X-Ray exposure (especially in interventional cardiology, angiography, and orthopedic surgery), Edge Bilayer aprons are an indispensable comfort and safety investment. They protect spinal health without compromising radiation protection performance.
