Bacterial contamination and often ineffective disinfection of lead aprons in medical settings pose significant health risks to patients and healthcare staff. Additionally, traditional lead aprons are prone to rapid deterioration, tearing easily, and causing discomfort due to their outdated fabric materials and construction.
Evolving Lead Aprons for Enhanced Comfort and Durability
For many years, healthcare professionals have relied on lead aprons made from materials like nylon and PU-coated fabrics. While these materials served us well, providing essential radiation protection, advancements in technology have allowed us to improve on this foundation.
Nylon and PU-coated aprons have been standard choices due to their strength and durability. However, over time, we’ve learned that these materials can present some challenges—such as occasional staining, stiffness, or sensitivity to certain cleaning products. Despite these minor limitations, they have remained effective and reliable for years.
But as with any technology, we strive to innovate and improve. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new fabric material that not only maintain the trusted protection we’ve always delivered but also provide enhanced comfort, flexibility, and ease of cleaning. These advancements represent our commitment to making things even better for healthcare professionals, allowing for improved hygiene, greater mobility, and longer-lasting durability.
We’re proud of the protection our lead aprons have provided for years – and now, with AmRay’s new fabric material, we’re taking it to the next level.
AmRay Introduces AmRay Eclipse – The New Innovative Antibacterial Apron Fabric
AmRay Eclipse is AmRay’s second-to-none fabric for lead aprons that surpasses PU and traditional Nylon in every aspect, addressing these critical issues with its unique fabric that offers exclusive antibacterial protection significantly enhancing hygiene and infection control in lead aprons.
This fabric’s advanced properties also include resistance to water, stains, and blood, promoting long-lasting durability, superior hygiene and infection control.
Verified and certified by independent tests, AmRay Eclipse sets a new standard in hygiene and infection control for lead aprons, combined with delivering unmatched performance, and peace of mind.
How AmRay Eclipse Outperforms Traditionally Used Lead Apron Fabrics
Superior Infection Control and Enhanced Hygiene Control
Lead aprons worn in operating rooms and interventional procedures are susceptible to bacterial contamination and growth, potentially increasing the risk of infections during intraoperative procedures.
AmRay Eclipse aprons feature an advanced antimicrobial layer that acts as a strong barrier against pathogens, preventing bacterial contamination and growth. This innovation has been rigorously tested and proven effective. Research shows that despite regular cleaning, lead aprons can still harbour significant bacterial contamination, highlighting the need for improved infection control.

- Contamination of Interventional Radiology Lead Aprons by Nosocomial Pathogens
- Bacterial Contamination of Lead Aprons in a High-Volume Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and Disinfection Using an Automated Ultraviolet-C Radiation System
- Bacterial contamination of protective lead garments in an operating room setting
Lead aprons are often difficult to clean and maintain hygiene due to stubborn stains and persistent odour, posing challenges for infection control in medical environments.
Long-Lasting Durability
Traditional protective aprons often suffer from wear and tear, aging, and staining issues, particularly with PU materials prone to cracking and peeling.
AmRay Eclipse offers superior durability, backed by rigorous in-house testing that ensures exceptional resistance to wear and tear, aging, and staining. Unlike PU aprons, which can deteriorate over time, AmRay Eclipse is designed for longevity, providing cost savings and reliable performance in the long run.
Unmatched Comfort & Mobility
Traditional aprons often restrict movement and cause discomfort due to their stiffness and lack of flexibility.
Together with AmRay’s flexible core protection materials, AmRay Eclipse offers unmatched comfort and mobility with its smooth, flexible fabric. This innovative design allows for unrestricted movement and improved posture, eliminating the stiffness and discomfort associated with traditional aprons.
