Trivitron Healthcare has successfully innovated a breakthrough technology in the development of space-grade radiation protection aprons. The product “SpaceD Radioprotection Apron” is specifically designed for medical professionals who have to spend long hours in surgery and imaging laboratories. The USP of the suit is its ability to regulate the body’s temperature at 24°C by absorbing and dispersing excess heat. While maintaining a comfortable body temperature, the apron comes with higher durability, stain resistance, antimicrobial properties that offer lower weight, and optimum temperature regulation during stressful procedures, to help the medical experts avoid fatigue as it is lightweight and protects them from sweating.

Trivitron Healthcare, SpaceD Radiation protection aprons are marketed under their radiology vertical brand, Kiran. The newest offering SpaceD Radiation Protection Aprons uses Outlast® technology, originally developed for NASA. These aprons utilize phase change materials (PCM) that absorb, store and release heat for optimal thermal comfort along with regulating skin microclimate.

The ‘Microencapsulated’ technology and ‘Thermocules’ present in the aprons absorbs excess heat thereby preventing the onset of sweat. In the scenario when the body starts to cool, the suit releases the stored heat. Matrix Infusion Coating is used in SpaceD Radioprotection Aprons. The formulation is printed onto flat fabric and this makes this fabric best for skin and during surgical procedures. The fabric wicking durability is controlled by base fabric. The technology manages heat while controlling the production of moisture before it begins and protects surgeons from temperature fluctuations.

Interventional surgeon and supporting healthcare professionals generally would need to wear Radiation Protection Gear for long durations during a day and for them radiation protection aprons must be made as comfortable as possible to wear in addition to providing the functional requirement of radiation attenuation as specified in IEC and ASTM standards.

Overexposure to radiation can lead to several health effects that can range from burns, radiation sickness, damage bone-marrow, acute radiation syndrome, genetic mutation, and cancer. Trivitron Healthcare has always been at the forefront of cutting-edge technology with its innovations and inclusion of industry benchmarked products and services. SpaceD Radioprotection Aprons offer optimum protection along with great comfort following professional’s space-age technology that ensures medical experts stay focussed during long hours of surgery and procedures.
