Pediatric Radiation Protection: From Infants to Teenagers, Safety Comes First
When it comes to radiation safety, children require special consideration. Their developing bodies are sensitive to radiation exposure, making proper shielding not just recommended—but essential. At Z&Z Medical, we offer a full line of pediatric radiation protection garments designed specifically for infants, children, and teenagers, helping imaging departments protect their smallest patients with confidence.
Why Pediatric Radiation Protection Is Different. Children are not simply “small adults.” Their growing organs, higher cell division rates, and longer lifetime exposure risk, all increase the importance of properly sized, well-fitted radiation protection garments. Using adult aprons on pediatric patients can lead to poor coverage, excessive weight, and discomfort or improper positioning. That’s why pediatric-specific radiation protection matters.
