Every apron has a Birth date — what’s yours?
A crack in the outer layer exposes the lead inside, which can transfer to the patient. According to the ADA: "All protective shields should be evaluated for damage (ie. tears, folds, and cracks) monthly using visual and manual inspection.”*
RINN recommends replacing your aprons every 3-5 years.
