Polytron is the lightest-weight fabric we offer, featuring a polyurethane coating on a semi-stretch base material. It has a satin-smooth feel, is water-resistant, resists stains, and is easy to clean—providing durability and comfort for daily use.

PVC EasyClean is an extremely durable, washable fabric that is water-resistant and easy to wipe down. Slightly stiffer than nylon, it is ideal for environments where aprons require frequent cleaning and disinfection.

NECK CIRCUMFERENCE

Measure the circumference around the base of the neck, where the collar of a shirt would sit.

• Use a soft measuring tape.
• Keep the tape snug but not tight.
• Ensure it stays level around the entire neck.
• Take measurements while standing upright and facing forward.

TIPS FOR MEASUREMENT

• Measure while standing upright and looking straight ahead.
• Take measurements over the clothing typically worn under the shield.

Lead equivalency is attenuation comparable to a thickness of lead at standard X-ray energies.

• 0.35 mm Pb – Lighter; lower attenuation; use for low-scatter, shorter exposures (if permitted).
• 0.50 mm Pb – Common clinical standard; higher attenuation for general use.

A buckle tethered thyroid shield is a small connector designed to keep the thyroid shield and lead apron together when not in use. It uses a ½-inch black plastic side-release buckle, with the male end attached to the thyroid shield and the female end attached to the apron. This simple system helps prevent the thyroid shield from being misplaced and ensures it stays conveniently paired with the correct apron for easy storage and access.

A ring tether for a thyroid shield is a simple connector made from two heavy-duty metal key rings. One ring attaches to the thyroid shield and the other to the lead apron, allowing the two to stay connected when stored or hung. The ring tether helps prevent the thyroid shield from being misplaced and ensures it remains paired with the correct apron, without affecting the function or comfort of either item during use.

The standard Velcro closure features a wide, adjustable strap that secures comfortably behind the neck. It allows for a snug, customized fit and quick fastening or removal. This is the most common closure style, offering reliability, simplicity, and easy adjustment for different users.

The plastic side-release buckle closure uses a durable black plastic buckle positioned at the back of the neck for secure fastening. It provides a quick click-to-close and squeeze-to-release design, making it easy to use with gloved hands while maintaining a consistent fit every time.

The magnetic closure uses an integrated magnet system for effortless connection and release at the back of the neck. This premium design eliminates the need for manual alignment, allowing the shield to snap securely into place. It’s ideal for users seeking maximum convenience and comfort without compromising hold.
