Featured Medical Index Apparel Styles
MXR Imaging carries a variety of models designed for specific clinical workflows, focusing on ergonomic weight distribution.
Front-Protection Apparel
Ideal for staff who remain facing the radiation source. These models feature easy-on, easy-off closures and comfortable shoulder padding. Available options include cross-band Velcro and adjustable buckles.
Double-Sided & Wrap-Around Protection
Designed for high-exposure environments like interventional radiology or cardiology.
Model MADA
A double-sided apron featuring a front overlap and a comfortable V-neck design for enhanced mobility.
Model BRDA
A double-sided apron with a centralized overlap, designed for balanced weight distribution and secure shielding.
Model MIDA
Utilizes the specialized Frontline closure system to maximize comfort and protection.
Skirt & Vest Protective Systems
By separating the garment into two pieces, the weight of the X-ray protection is distributed more evenly between the shoulders and the hips, reducing the risk of injury.
Smart Design: Ergonomic Features for Clinician Comfort
The Medical Index "Smart Design" philosophy focuses on reducing the physical toll of wearing radiation protection. By integrating advanced ergonomic features, these aprons help minimize fatigue and improve focus during long clinical sessions.
Integrated Shoulder Padding
Deep, breathable padding is standard on high-end models to distribute weight across the shoulders, preventing pressure points and neck strain.
Comfy-Click Buckle System
A specialized buckle design that ensures a fit with a single click, allowing for easy one-handed adjustment while maintaining tension throughout the day.
Frontline Overlap Technology
Featured in the MIDA models, this design provides a seamless front overlap. This eliminates the traditional "gap" at the closure point, ensuring continuous shielding without adding unnecessary bulk.
V-Neck Mobility
Specifically engineered for the MADA and vest models, the optimized V-neck cut allows for unrestricted head and neck movement, which is essential for interventional procedures.
Precision Sizing and Professional Fitting
A primary concern for clinicians is ensuring a garment fits correctly to avoid physical strain and gaps in protection. Medical Index addresses this through a precise measurement protocol that removes the guesswork from the ordering process.
Measure-to-Fit Sizing Accuracy
To provide the best possible ergonomic experience, Medical Index utilizes a specialized sizing chart. Rather than relying on generic small, medium, or large designations, MXR Imaging specialists help you gather four key measurements:
- Body Height: Helps ensure proper length to protect the knees and lower extremities.
- Chest Girth: Vital for vest and front-protection models to prevent shoulder slipping.
- Waist Girth: Crucial for distributing weight to the hips in skirt-and-vest systems.
- Hip Girth: Ensures a full overlap on wrap-around models to maintain 360 degree protection.
Adjustable Support Elements
Many Medical Index models feature integrated elastic back-parts (available in 10 cm and 14 cm widths for skirts). These allow the garment to move with the body while keeping the weight securely positioned, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal fatigue during long imaging sessions.
Professional Fastening and Closure Systems
A secure and comfortable fit is essential for effective radiation protection. Medical Index offers several closure types designed for ease of use and ergonomic stability.
Magnet Closure (MWSV Models)
A modern, quick-release system using flexible magnets for a secure front overlap without the wear and tear of traditional fasteners.
Buckle Closure (WSV Models)
Features an adjustable buckle combined with an elastic back-part to ensure the weight of the apron is held securely at the waist.
Velcro Closure (WESV Models)
The industry standard for rapid donning and doffing, utilized on shoulders and front panels for a highly adjustable, customized fit.
Frontline Closure (MIDA Models)
Specifically designed for double-sided aprons to provide a seamless front overlap that eliminates radiation leakage at the fastening point.
The Matrix Advantage: Technical Outer Coverings
The Matrix Cover Material is a leading technical textile applied exclusively to Medical Index aprons. This material is designed to withstand the rigors of the clinical environment while prioritizing user comfort.
- Durability Meets Comfort: The Matrix material features a robust build that remains soft to the touch, providing advantages that become more apparent the longer the garment is worn.
- Hygiene Standards: This technical textile is ASTM F1671 (2013) compliant, meeting rigorous standards for viral and blood-borne pathogen resistance.
- Extensive Color Palette: Personalize your X-ray protection with over 45 colors and patterns, including Metallic Grey, Royal Blue, and Lavender.
Garment Customization and Optional Features
Beyond standard configurations, Medical Index provides several ways to customize your apparel for specific clinical needs. These optional upgrades enhance both the protection levels and the long-term utility of your garments.
- Protective Sleeves: Fixed or removable options available in matching Matrix colors.
- Custom Trim and Binding: Customize your product with unique trim colors (e.g., Turquoise, Orange, Pink) to designate departments.
- Secondary Shielding: Options for gonad shields, breast protection, and specialized pockets for dosimeters.
Coordinated Apparel and Accessories
To complete your protective ensemble, Medical Index offers specialized add-ons that integrate seamlessly with your primary garment. These items provide essential secondary shielding and allow for departmental personalization.
- Thyroid Shields: Available in matching Matrix colors with integrated or separate attachment options.
- Embroidery: Add staff names, department titles, or logos directly to the material.
