| "NEVER LOSE ANOTHER PEDIATRIC GONADAL SHIELD" |
| Gonapron |
| Manhattanville Station P.O. Box 557 New York, N.Y. 10027 |
| There are two likely reasons for children to be unnecessarily exposed to x-ray. One is when the tiny pediatric gonadal shields slip off the child during the exposure. Another is that the current types of gonadal shields made are so easily lost that they can't practically be replaced at the rate at which they are loss. The Gonapron™ is a larger garment that can't be easily dropped without notice, tangled in bed sheets and mistakenly trashed by the linen department or nurses. It is an official half apron and a pediatric / adult gonadal shield all in one. |
| The Gonapron™ when used as a gonadal shield has a 10" X 12" surface that keeps it steadily in place during an x-ray. This is an essential patented feature. Its' Lead protective shielding is of .5mm lead equivalent. |

| It’s finally here! The answer to the prayers of many Radiologist, Surgeons, Radiologic Technologist, Radiation Safety Officers, Rad. Directors, Rad. Supervisors and Quality Management Technologist everywhere. The Gonapron™. The Gonapron™ will revolutionize how radiation safety shielding is provided for adult and pediatric patient for years to come. This practical shielding tool was developed to improve on the common failures of the gonadal shielding apparatuses lead apron manufacturers make today. Firstly, we have reduced the amount of material traditionally used by others in the manufacturing process of similar garments. More lead material length and width does not necessarily translate to more protection. It does however translate to more monetary waste and more energy to harvest the lead contents of that material. Secondly we have reduced the monetary and material waste incurred when a lead shield is habitually lost over and over again. Sure those tiny $50.00 blue oval gonadal shields seem ideal for shielding pediatric patients but where do you find one when you need one? Moreover, it’s a Federal mandate that you assign an identifying index number or name to the item and periodically inspect the integrity of that shielding device by x- raying it and ensuring that there are no tears or pinholes seen on the inside material. In addition, the law requires that your periodic inspection data be logged and documented for future inspections. The question is, “How do you test what you can’t find?”or worst yet “ how will you shield the new born baby you are about to x-ray?. Relax, you are about to be exposed to a new and true reality for shielding and technology to assist you in the monitoring of as many aprons and Gonapron™ you may have at any given time. You will be glad that you saw this web page or heard about our product and our data base monitoring technology (COMING SOON!).
