Lead apron standards, radiation shielding guidelines, lead equivalence calculation and equipment care guides.
A lead apron is protective equipment used in environments with X-Ray and similar ionizing radiation sources to help protect users against scattered radiation.
Intended use, protection level, size distribution, weight balance, cleanable outer surface, hanger system, certificates and technical specification compliance should be evaluated together.
Lead-free aprons use alternative protective inner materials to support lighter use. Selection should be based on usage duration, protection expectations, ergonomics and specification requirements.
Lead aprons should never be machine washed, spun, or dry cleaned. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals like alcohol or bleach. For disinfection, use chlorine-free spray disinfectants by spraying and wiping them clean.
Cracks that may occur in the inner protective layers of lead aprons cannot be detected visually. Therefore, aprons should be scanned at least once a year under fluoroscopy or radiography (X-Ray crack testing). Any apron found to have cracks or damage should be decommissioned immediately and replaced.
Since children's cells divide rapidly and their tissues are developing, they are highly sensitive to radiation. Tailor-made pediatric lead aprons are required to protect their sensitive growing bodies.
X-Ray machines generate ionizing radiation, which can damage cell structures. Lead aprons block scattered radiation, protecting operators and assistants remaining in the room.
Lead-free aprons use non-toxic metals like antimony or bismuth. This prevents toxic heavy metal contamination in soil and water at the end of their lifecycle.
The Lead Apron Guide is a comprehensive technical manual detailing everything from apron fabric compositions and core materials to IEC standards and annual testing methods. For detailed information, you can visit our Lead Apron Guide page.
Our guide details Front Protective (Series 11), Full Protective (Series 21), Vest & Skirt (Series 41), Dentist (Series 32D), and dental patient aprons, highlighting their features and shielding benefits. For detailed information, you can compare all models on our Lead Apron Guide page.
The eye lens of personnel working under X-Ray and scattered radiation is extremely sensitive to serious radiation damage such as cataracts. Lead glasses protect the eye lens with 0.75 mm Pb lead equivalency to minimize this risk.
During procedures such as interventional radiology, angiography, and fluoroscopy, the hands of physicians are the closest region to scattered radiation. Lead gloves (sterile powder-free, latex-free, or palm mitten models) must be used to reduce primary or scattered radiation exposure of the hands.
Continuous fluoroscopy in angiography exposes physicians' hands to direct and scattered radiation. Sterile protective gloves protect hands against cumulative dose damage and skin lesions.
Sterile leaded gloves are manufactured from dry natural rubber (DNR) and lead oxide (PbO), whereas lead-free sterile gloves use a polyisoprene and bismuth oxide blend. Lead-free options are entirely latex-free, eliminating protein allergy risks, and are environmentally friendly since they do not contain toxic heavy metals.
For veterinary clinics and surgeons, we offer Model 1 (five-finger full protection lead gloves) and Model 2 (fingerless/open-palm design). Model 2 allows clinicians to easily secure and manipulate animals with bare fingers while keeping the back of the hand and forearm protected from X-Ray scatter radiation.
When handling radioactive isotopes and radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine, protecting the forearm is as critical as protecting the fingers. Long cuff gloves feature a 0.50 mm Pb lead equivalency thickness, providing maximum forearm shielding during source preparation and administration.
Lead aprons, thyroid shields, lead glasses, lead gloves, gonad shields, lead glass, lead doors, lead barriers and room shielding solutions can be evaluated in this group.
If environmental shielding is required based on X-Ray room layout, radiology area or device positioning, lead glass, lead doors and room shielding solutions should be assessed on a project basis.
Micro-designed gonad shields, head and eye shields, and lightweight curtains or mobile barriers are used to protect infants and adjacent incubators during bedside scans.
Yes, NDT systems operate at high energies. Heavy-duty protective aprons, high-thickness mobile barriers, and industrial lead curtains are mandatory for operators and surrounding areas.
Protection level, model type, size measurements, outer surface properties, certificates, test documents, product label, storage conditions and warranty topics should be clearly included.
After product group, quantity, size distribution, delivery plan, technical specification and certificate expectations are clarified, a quotation and supply plan can be prepared.
A patent is an official document granting the inventor exclusive rights to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a set period. It supports and protects innovation and R&D investments.
For an invention to be patented, it must meet the criteria of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. The registration process is completed after an application is filed with the national patent office and research/examination reports are conducted.
Individual inventors, universities, research centers, and commercial companies developing innovative products can obtain patents. At Oley Medical Products, we secure patent registrations to protect our original medical designs.
Our proprietary 'Radiation Protective Lead Curtain System' (Patent No: TR 2019 06077 Y) is our key patented and self-manufactured product. It is a patented design featuring a telescopic height-adjustment mechanism that protects medical staff and patients from ionizing X-Ray radiation.
A lead curtain is a mobile shielding solution designed to protect medical personnel and patients from scattered radiation in areas where radiation sources are active, such as X-ray rooms, angiography labs, operating theatres, and neonatal units.
Ceiling or track-mounted lead curtains save floor space, roll away easily, and do not block pathways, making them highly ergonomic in surgical or diagnostic rooms.
The lead curtain system we developed is a registered patented invention (TR 2019 06077 Y) by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office due to its innovative telescopic vertical height adjustment, mobile portability, and lightweight frame.
Lead-free antimony aprons use a lightweight antimony and polymer blend instead of traditional heavy lead lining. This makes them 20-30% lighter, significantly reducing the load on the back and shoulders for better ergonomics.
No. Lead is a toxic heavy metal requiring special hazardous waste disposal procedures. Lead-free aprons do not contain toxic lead metals, making them environmentally friendly and easy to recycle at the end of their lifecycle.
Bilayer technology features two thin layers with distinct absorption properties instead of a single thick lining. This dual-layer structure blocks scattered X-ray radiation more effectively by capturing secondary scatter.
Edge Bilayer aprons utilize a stain-resistant, water and fluid-repellent (hydrophobic) outer fabric. This protects against blood, body fluids, and clinical disinfectants, allowing for easy wipe-cleaning.
It is used to calibrate magnification errors digitally during spinal X-rays. The lead markings on the ruler provide a highly visible contrast reference under X-ray, allowing physicians to measure the Cobb angle with millimeter accuracy.
Oley Scoliosis Rulers are manufactured from a durable, hygienic transparent plexiglass body embedded with high-contrast lead markings that completely block X-rays for clear radiographic visibility.
Surgical gowns and coveralls must comply with EN 13795 standards to guarantee protection against fluids and bacteria. They must also carry CE marking and ISO 13485 medical device quality management certificates.
