Undershield Targeted Axillary Protection

Introducing the UnderShield™ – Revolutionary Axillary Radiation Protection

We’re thrilled to introduce Infab’s new UnderShield™, an innovative new solution in radiation protection designed to close a critical gap in safety. While traditional lead aprons provide essential coverage, clinical studies reveal that the axillary region—under the arm and the upper outer quadrant of the breast—often remains dangerously exposed, even with a properly fitted apron.

This overlooked area has real consequences: Orthopedic surgeons, regardless of gender, are shown to have a three-times higher risk of developing breast cancer compared to the general population. Similar trends are being seen in female radiation technologists as well.

That’s where UnderShield™ steps in.

Engineered to be worn under any existing vest or apron, the UnderShield™ delivers focused, lightweight protection exactly where it’s needed most—without adding bulk or restricting your range of motion. Its overlapping wing design, made from high-performance lead-equivalent materials, provides .5 mm protection while maintaining a low-profile fit.

Why You'll Love It:

• Targeted Protection: Specifically shields the axillary region left exposed by standard aprons.
• Lightweight Comfort: Unlike bulky add-ons, the UnderShield™ is sleek and subtle.
• Flexible, Adjustable Fit: Layered for comfort and movement, available in sizes S to 3XL.
• Exclusive brrr° Cooling Fabric: Designed to keep you cool and dry, even in high-pressure procedures.
• Moisture-Wicking & Quick-Drying: Enhances all-day comfort under your existing apron.
• Proven Radiation Attenuation: Each wing offers .25 mm protection, overlapping for a total of .5 mm at key areas.

Whether you’re an interventional radiologist, orthopedic surgeon, or a tech spending hours in fluoroscopy, the UnderShield™ adds a new layer of protection where it matters most—quietly, comfortably, and effectively.
