A lead apron is primarily made of lead or lead-containing materials, which provide protection from radiation exposure, particularly during medical procedures like X-rays. The lead is often combined with a lightweight material, such as vinyl or plastic, to create a flexible and durable garment. Some aprons may also use alternative materials like barium or tungsten to achieve similar protective qualities while being lighter and more comfortable. The design typically includes straps and a collar for secure and effective coverage.
