Home » Colombia Lead Apron: Ultimate Protection Against Radiation

In Colombia, wearing a lead apron is a prerequisite safety measure in radiology facilities. Radiologic professionals and patients rely on this protective garment to shield their bodies from incidental exposure to X-rays. Ionizing radiation is a mutagen that can damage cells and DNA, leading to cancer and many other pathologies.

Colombia has a highly-regarded healthcare system and regulatory framework. This appraisal is particularly evident in radiology, with rapid advancements in technology and care systems. If you work in this field, your health depends on having the right radioprotective gear. An X-ray apron from Barrier Technologies® presents the ultimate defense against scatter radiation.
