There are three types of aprons that are used by healthcare practitioners, radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and patients to protect themselves from harmful radiations. Moreover, in 2021, Trivitron, one of the world's largest medical equipment and device companies, announced the launch of SpaceD radiation protection aprons, which is used by the medical fraternity.
Furthermore, medical radiation protection aprons are widely used in medical imaging procedures to protect radiographers and patients from harmful radiations. Increase in number of X-ray procedures and surge in need for radiation protection aprons drive growth of the medical radiation protection aprons market share. Lead apron is widely used by patients for diagnosis during X-ray procedure to protect the body parts that are not involved in diagnosis. Radiation protection aprons are also used by healthcare practitioners to protect themselves from harmful radiations. In addition, increase in number of medical radiation protection aprons industry to manufacture radiation protection aprons drive growth of the market. Increase in awareness regarding radiation protection apron fuel growth of the market. For instance, in 2022, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, a questionnaire-based study was conducted to evaluate the level of awareness among dental practitioners in Uttar Pradesh (U.P) in India. It was reported that around 87% of dental practitioners in U.P. use lead aprons. On the other hand, high cost of light weight radiation protective aprons hamper growth of the medical radiation protection apron market.
