Dux Dental introduces lead-free aprons

Feb. 27, 2004
The aprons are 100% recyclable and are safer for patients and operators due to the elimination of lead. Life expectancy is longer than conventional aprons when handled according to manufacturer's recommendations.

DUX Dental's Lead Free X-ray Aprons are the result of a technologically advanced Xenolite alloy sheeting replacing antiquated leaded X-ray aprons. Constructed with a wear resistant, Microfiber front and a non-slip corduroy back, the Lead Free aprons exhibit the same attenuation for X-radiation as a leaded apron. Each apron weighs approximately 50% less than conventional aprons, can withstand most disinfectant liquids and adds an esthetic advantage with the décor of dental offices. In addition, the aprons are 100% recyclable and are safer for patients and operators due to the elimination of lead. Life expectancy is longer than conventional aprons when handled according to manufacturer's recommendations.
