DUX Dental is offering an alter-native to the common dental x-ray apron with the launch of a reversible bronze/charcoal lead-free apron. This elegant bronze/char-coal apron will add a sophisticated look to any dental operatory. Dental offices invest substantial time and money to modernize and beautify their office, and now there is an x-ray apron that comple-ments those efforts. The bronze and charcoal colors will hide the wear of the apron, which is commonly seen with lighter blues, pinks and grays. As the apron is also reversible, you can change the look at any time to suit your needs. For the ultimate in comfort, the apron features lead-free alloy sheeting that provides protection equivalent to a traditional style lead apron, yet weighs three pounds less and is 100% recyclable with no toxic metals. The bronze/charcoal aprons are available in adult sizes with a thyroid collar (item # 31369) and as a panoramic poncho (item # 31370). Child sizes are available upon request. These reversible bronze/charcoal lead-free aprons will be available for order with major dental dealers starting May 1, 2012. Please place your orders now with your preferred dental dealer to ensure quick delivery.
