TranzForm X-Ray Apron Storage

Lead aprons are expensive, heavy, and easily damaged when they're tossed over a chair or folded into a drawer. Radiology departments, cath labs, dental offices, and veterinary clinics all face the same problem: how to store protective garments in a way that preserves their integrity between shifts. That's exactly what TranzForm apron storage hardware is built for.

The core issue is that lead and lead-free X-ray aprons crack when creased. A fold in the shielding material can create gaps that compromise radiation protection, and once that happens the garment often has to be replaced. Hanging aprons flat over a broad, supportive bar keeps the shielding intact, prolongs the useful life of each apron, and keeps your protective inventory audit-ready.

Our TranzForm X-Ray Apron Hanger (model 16220) is built from stainless steel for durability in wash-down and high-traffic clinical environments. The stainless construction resists corrosion, wipes down easily for infection control, and carries the weight of a full lead apron without sagging or bending. It's a practical mount for a garment closet, a scrub area wall, or beside an imaging suite where techs need to grab and go.

When you're sizing storage for your department, count your aprons plus a margin for loaner and visitor garments, and plan hanger placement so aprons hang fully without touching the floor. Stainless hardware like this is a small investment against the cost of replacing shielded garments prematurely.
