In every X-ray, fluoroscopy, or interventional procedure, not all radiation travels straight from source to detector. Some photons bounce back — reflecting off the patient, table, or shielding surfaces — and return toward the operator. This reflected component is known as backscatter radiation.
In every X-ray and fluoroscopy environment, radiation protection garments play a vital role in safeguarding healthcare professionals from scatter exposure.
Traditional lead aprons have long been the standard for radiation shielding in X-ray and fluoroscopic procedures. However, with evolving material science and safety research, lead-free aprons like Zittron’s Verde are emerging as the new benchmark for modern protection.
When doctors step into an interventional suite — for cardiology, neurology, orthopaedics, or urology — they also step into a high-exposure zone.
For decades, lead equivalence (mm Pb) has been the universal benchmark for measuring the protective performance of radiation shielding materials.
Every day, medical professionals across radiology, cardiology, orthopaedics, and interventional surgery rely on radiation protection apparel and accessories to keep them safe.But as imaging technology becomes more advanced — and procedures grow longer and more complex — the old standards of protection are no longer enough.
Every day, doctors, technicians, and nurses stand within reach of scattered radiation during diagnostic and interventional procedures. Their safety depends entirely on the shielding performance of the apparel they wear.

In modern operating rooms and cath labs, scatter radiation is an ever-present occupational hazard. Doctors, nurses, and technicians who spend hours under fluoroscopic guidance are exposed not only to direct radiation but also to the secondary scatter that reflects from the patient, table, and surrounding surfaces.
Radiation protection aprons are the first line of defense for doctors, technicians, and support staff who work near X-ray and fluoroscopy equipment.But even the most durable apron can lose its protective ability if not inspected regularly.
In the field of medical imaging and interventional radiology, radiation protection apparel—aprons, thyroid shields, head caps, and accessories—must not only perform but also prove their performance through internationally accepted standards.

At Zittron, innovation isn’t limited to design — it begins at the core: the protection material itself.
In every interventional or surgical suite, radiation protection aprons are more than just lead-lined garments — they are front-line barriers between the doctor and multiple invisible hazards.

Every day, healthcare professionals across interventional radiology, cath labs, and fluoroscopy suites wear radiation protection aprons and accessories for extended durations.
When purchasing or auditing radiation protection apparel and accessories, compliance with international standards such as IEC 61331-1:2014 and IEC 61331-3:2014 is not optional — it’s essential.
