IndoSurgicals Private Limited uses high-quality lead and lead-free radiation protection core materials for manufacturing lead aprons, lead-free aprons, frontal protection aprons, full protection aprons, thyroid shields, gonad shields, dental aprons, patient protection shields, and X-ray protection garments.
The core material is the most important protective layer inside a radiation protection apron. It determines the apron’s lead equivalent protection, shielding efficiency, flexibility, comfort, durability, and core sheet weight.
IndoSurgicals supplies radiation protection aprons in two protection levels:
| Apron Protection Level | Actual Sheet Construction Used |
|---|---|
| 0.35 mmPb Lead Equivalent | 2 sheets of 0.175 mmPb |
| 0.50 mmPb Lead Equivalent | 2 sheets of 0.25 mmPb |
The values mentioned below are approximate core material weight per square metre only. Final finished apron weight may vary depending on apron style, size, outer fabric, stitching, binding, hook and loop closure, buckles, pockets, and accessories.
In a frontal protection apron, the protective core is used on the front side of the apron. This design is suitable for users who mainly face the radiation source during procedures.
| Claimed Apron Protection | Front Protection Construction |
|---|---|
| 0.35 mmPb | 2 sheets of 0.175 mmPb |
| 0.50 mmPb | 2 sheets of 0.25 mmPb |
In a full-overlap full protection apron, the required front protection is achieved when both front panels overlap each other. The back panel is always made with one 0.25 mmPb sheet.
| Claimed Apron Protection | Front Panel 1 | Front Panel 2 | Back Panel | Front Overlapped Area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.35 mmPb | 0.175 mmPb | 0.175 mmPb | 0.25 mmPb | 0.35 mmPb |
| 0.50 mmPb | 0.25 mmPb | 0.25 mmPb | 0.25 mmPb | 0.50 mmPb |
In the Partial-Overlap Full Protection Lead Apron, both front panels are made with the full claimed lead equivalent protection. This design provides full front-side protection on each panel, while the overlapped front portion provides additional shielding because both protective panels come together in the overlap area.
| Claimed Apron Protection | Front Panel 1 | Front Panel 2 | Back Panel | Overlapped Front Area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.35 mmPb Lead Equivalent | 0.35 mmPb | 0.35 mmPb | 0.25 mmPb | Approx. 0.70 mmPb |
| 0.50 mmPb Lead Equivalent | 0.50 mmPb | 0.50 mmPb | 0.25 mmPb | Approx. 1.00 mmPb |
In 0.35 mmPb partial-overlap aprons, each front panel is made with 0.35 mmPb lead equivalent protection. Therefore, wherever both front panels overlap, the combined protection becomes approximately 0.70 mmPb lead equivalent.
In 0.50 mmPb partial-overlap aprons, each front panel is made with 0.50 mmPb lead equivalent protection. Therefore, wherever both front panels overlap, the combined protection becomes approximately 1.00 mmPb lead equivalent.
The back panel is always 0.25 mmPb lead equivalent in both 0.35 mmPb and 0.50 mmPb partial-overlap full protection apron designs.
StPb® is a traditional lead vinyl radiation protection core material used by IndoSurgicals Private Limited in manufacturing high-quality lead aprons, frontal protection aprons, full protection aprons, thyroid shields, gonad shields, dental aprons, patient shields, and X-ray protection garments.
StPb® is suitable for users who prefer conventional lead-based radiation protection with dependable shielding performance and cost-effective apron construction.

In StPb® partial-overlap aprons, both front panels are made with the full claimed lead equivalent protection. Therefore, the overlapped front portion provides doubled lead equivalency: 0.35 mmPb becomes approx. 0.70 mmPb, and 0.50 mmPb becomes approx. 1.00 mmPb in the overlapped area.
NoPb®-LT Lead-Free Lightweight Core Material is a polymer-based radiation protection sheet made with lead-free attenuation compounds. The shielding powders are bonded inside a flexible POE polymer matrix to create a protective sheet suitable for manufacturing lead-free radiation protection garments.
At IndoSurgicals, NoPb®-LT is used in selected lead-free apron models where users need reliable X-ray protection with lighter apron construction. The material is available in 0.175 mmPb and 0.25 mmPb sheet grades, which are used in different combinations to make 0.35 mmPb and 0.50 mmPb lead equivalent aprons.
For IndoSurgicals apron construction, 0.35 mmPb lead equivalent is made using two sheets of 0.175 mmPb, while 0.50 mmPb lead equivalent is made using two sheets of 0.25 mmPb.
NoPb®-LT is made from lead-free radiation attenuation powders bonded in a POE polymer matrix.

| 0.50 mmPb | 2 sheets of 0.25 mmPb | 6.0 kg/m² |
In a full-overlap full protection apron, the required front protection is achieved when both front panels overlap each other. The back panel is always made with 0.25 mmPb lead equivalent protection.
| Claimed Protection Level | Front Panel 1 | Front Panel 2 | Back Panel | Front Overlapped Area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.35 mmPb | 0.175 mmPb sheet, 2.25 kg/m² | 0.175 mmPb sheet, 2.25 kg/m² | 0.25 mmPb sheet, 3.0 kg/m² | 0.35 mmPb |

In the Partial-Overlap Full Protection Lead Apron, both front panels are made with the full claimed lead equivalent protection. This design provides full front-side protection on each panel, while the overlapped front portion provides additional shielding because both protective panels come together in the overlap area.
| Claimed Protection Level | Each Front Panel | Back Panel | Overlapped Front Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.35 mmPb | 0.35 mmPb, 4.5 kg/m² per panel | 0.25 mmPb, 3.0 kg/m² | Approx. 0.70 mmPb |

In 0.35 mmPb partial-overlap aprons, each front panel is made with 0.35 mmPb lead equivalent protection. Therefore, wherever both front panels overlap, the combined protection becomes approximately 0.70 mmPb lead equivalent.
In 0.50 mmPb partial-overlap aprons, each front panel is made with 0.50 mmPb lead equivalent protection. Therefore, wherever both front panels overlap, the combined protection becomes approximately 1.00 mmPb lead equivalent.
The back panel is always 0.25 mmPb lead equivalent in both 0.35 mmPb and 0.50 mmPb partial-overlap full protection apron designs.

IndoSurgicals supplies radiation protection aprons only in 0.35 mmPb and 0.50 mmPb lead equivalent protection levels.
In IndoSurgicals apron construction:
0.35 mmPb frontal apron uses 2 sheets of 0.175 mmPb
0.50 mmPb frontal apron uses 2 sheets of 0.25 mmPb
In full-overlap full protection aprons, front protection is achieved by overlap of two front panels
In partial-overlap full protection aprons, each front panel is made with the full claimed protection level
In partial-overlap aprons, the overlapped area becomes approx. 0.70 mmPb for 0.35 mmPb aprons and approx. 1.00 mmPb for 0.50 mmPb aprons
In all full protection apron designs, the back panel is one 0.25 mmPb sheet
The stated values are approximate core material area density values per square metre and do not represent final finished apron weight. Finished apron weight may vary depending on apron style, size, outer fabric, stitching, binding, hook and loop fasteners, buckles, pockets, and accessories.
