Aprons
Zero Fatigue Aprons
The first and only X-ray Protective
Aprons ever to eliminate 100% of weight and contact at the
shoulder areas are the ErgoLite®
Zero Fatigue Aprons. By using a reinforced but flexible
internal framework, these aprons have been designed to
entirely eliminate the Repetitive Stress and Fatigue
Problems of the upper back and extremities associated with
the shoulder contact and weight of conventional X-ray
aprons.
Here's how they work . . . .
These aprons have two specially
designed lightweight thermoplastic supports. Beginning at
the waist of the garment, these supports are built into the
garment's lining. The supports extend from the waist, up and
over the shoulders, and down the back of the garment, ending
at the waist. Combined with the use of our adjustable height
back support belt, these supports pick up the weight of the
garment along their entire length, particularly at the
shoulders. This eliminates not only shoulder weight from the
apron, but also all contact at the shoulder.
Here's how it helps . . . .
This design was specifically
developed to help relieve the repetitive stress at the
shoulders caused by prolonged lead apron shoulder contact.
Repetitive Stress has been identified as a cause of chronic
fatigue and pain in medical professionals who wear X-ray
protective aprons for long periods of time on a regular
basis.
ErgoLite®
is a revolutionary design - simple but effective. It
helps eliminate repetitive stress and fatigue problems,
while allowing the protective garment to remain both
flexible and comfortable. The ErgoLite®
Zero Fatigue is available in three popular X-ray
protective apron styles, the 600 series Vest and Kilt, the
700 series Wraparound aprons, and the 200 series Designer
Buckle Front Protection Aprons. ErgoLite® Zero
Fatigue aprons are the only products of their type. All of
our ErgoLite®
Aprons are made with premium super-lightweight &
No-Lead X-BAN® protective material. Available
exclusively from AADCO Medical.
