FAQs

Most dirt and water soluble stains can be wiped clean from aprons, vests and skirts with a cloth dipped in mild household dish soap that has been diluted in cold water.

Proguard aprons have been tested and approved to be cleaned with alcohol-based cleaners (under 20% concentration of alcohol.) We do not recommend using hydrogen-peroxide to clean aprons.

More details on garment cleaning can be found on the Product Care page.

The garments (including aprons and thyroid collars) are warrantied to be free of defects in materials and workmanship to the original purchaser for 2 years.

Upon evaluation, Protech will either repair or replace the defective item or part without charge to the purchaser. This warranty is void when the product has been tampered with, when repairs or attempted repairs have been made by unauthorised persons, or when the item has been subject to misuse, abuse, or damage in transit. No charges will be accepted or reimbursed for unauthorised parts, repairs, or services.

Please contact your local representative to discuss any warranty claims.

You can measure yourself or someone else for X-ray garments with a few quick measurements using a cloth measuring tape. It’s important to do so accurately as length and overlap are necessary to ensure proper protection. Measurements should be obtained while standing as straight as possible, looking straight ahead. Visit our Guide to taking your measurements page to find the perfect fit.

We offer a variety of garment colours, fabrics, logos and monogram options across our garments. Our eyewear also comes in various styles and colours and we offer single, bifocal and progressive prescriptions.

Please visit individual product pages for customisation options.

Each Proguard core material is carefully formulated to more efficiently attenuate portions of the photon spectrum and limit “gaps” in protection due to over-reliance on individual x-ray protective elements. We utilise proper elemental balance to address k-edge concerns for key diagnostic imaging ranges. Our advanced elastomers exhibit the best balance of toughness, flexibility, durability, and cracking resistance.
