Lead Apron Hanger

Description

A Lead Apron Hanger is purpose-built storage for x-ray protective garments. It supports the full weight and shape of aprons and skirts to prevent creases and pressure points that can damage the shielding core. Proper hanging extends garment life, keeps rooms organized, and helps teams access the right protection fast between cases.

Available as wall-mounted hooks, multi-arm racks, and mobile trolleys, these hangers distribute weight across wide shoulders or swing arms. Smooth, easy-clean surfaces suit clinical workflows. Add dedicated pegs for thyroid collars and glasses to keep complete sets together and ready.

Key features and benefits:

• Wide shoulder profile preserves drape and minimizes cracking of the protective core.

• Rigid, durable construction with smooth edges for daily clinical use.

• Cleanable finishes that tolerate routine disinfection.

• Fixed, swing-arm, or mobile options to fit rooms and shared suites.

• Accessory pegs for collars, two-piece sets, and lead glasses.

• Space-saving designs that clear floors and speed room turnover.

• Label-friendly areas to match garments to sizes or users.

Common uses and applications:

• Radiology and fluoroscopy rooms.

• Cardiology and electrophysiology labs.

• ORs using C-arms for orthopedic, urology, and vascular work.

• Dental and CBCT suites.

• Veterinary imaging rooms.

How it compares:

• Versus coat hooks or wire hangers: purpose-built hangers distribute weight and avoid sharp bends.

• Versus folding or chair storage reduces micro-cracks, improves hygiene, and speeds access.

• Versus flat shelving: acceptable for limited storage but hanging scales better and keeps garments ready to use.

Selection tips:

• Load capacity suitable for the number and weight of garments.

• Wall vs mobile footprint and corridor clearance.

• Arm spacing for full-length aprons and two-piece sets.

• Compatibility with your cleaning agents.

• Anchored installation and hardware matched to wall type.

Care and compliance notes:

• Hang by the shoulders after each use, avoid folding, and inspect routinely. This supports PPE care policies and ALARA-aligned practice by keeping shielding in good condition.
