The Paediatric Dental Lead Apron – 0.35mm Pb, 50cm is a child-sized radiation-protection shield designed specifically for intraoral dental X-rays, bitewings, occlusal imaging, and digital RVG/PSP radiographs. Tailored for young patients, it provides full chest and abdominal coverage while maintaining a lightweight, comfortable fit that minimizes anxiety and movement during dental imaging.

With a 0.35mm lead-equivalent protective layer, this apron offers reliable radiation attenuation that meets international safety guidelines for paediatric radiography.

The 50cm paediatric lead apron features a compact size suitable for children aged approx. 3–10 years, with ergonomic shaping that ensures optimal protection without restricting breathing or movement.

It is made from lead or lead-equivalent composite shielding, encased in a durable, wipeable outer cover (PU/vinyl/nylon) that withstands frequent disinfection—essential for busy dental clinics.

A secure Velcro or buckle fastening system keeps the apron firmly in place, ensuring consistent protection throughout the X-ray procedure. Many models also include a matching paediatric thyroid collar for enhanced safety.
