Medways advantage
There are no secrets to a light apron, the secret is in the quality!
Our single goal : make aprons ensuring maximum long-term protection available on the market.
Medways has full control of the quality, allowing us to closely inspect each product through its stages of production to the end.
We specialize in radiation protection. All our main materials are processed and tested for pinholes and streaks using a calibrated optical densitometer. This process allows us to ensure a consistent .50 mm Pb barrier and meet the highest standards of radiation protection. Our superior lead shielding and coatings and sustainable material binding, combine to produce a quality product.
All Aprons are available in LIGHT or ULTRA-LIGHT which is about 30% lighter than standard aprons.
Did you know
The rules in the provinces of Canada require a minimum of protection to counter the long-term effects of x-rays on health.
Actually, the provinces in recent years require a minimum protection of .5 mm on the front of the protective vest. In Quebec, many vests feature .25 mm which require well folding both sides to obtain the minimum of .5 mm
Medways protection vests are in compliance with this minimum.
