Texray vs Traditional Lead
• Up to 96.7% scatter reduction* (phantom & clinical testing)
• Shields 60–150 kV, exceeding standard 120–130 kV lead limits (IEC 61331-1/3:2014)
• 10× more durable — 300,000 flexes vs. lead cracking around 25,000
• Targets lateral & posterior head exposure traditional lead does not fully cover
• Lightweight, ergonomic design for consistent every-case wear

Radiation Exposure Is Cumulative.
Most surgeons don’t know exactly how much radiation they absorb over the course of a career in the OR. What’s clear is that for those routinely working around fluoroscopy, cumulative exposure is real — and it builds gradually over time.
Minimally invasive procedures have improved patient outcomes. They have also increased radiation scatter exposure to clinicians positioned near the field — especially around the head and neck.
Over years of practice, that exposure adds up.
In DR. DERMAN’S Words
“I love the work I do, and I want to protect my long-term health so I can continue doing it. That’s why I wear head and neck protection for every case now. It needs to be lightweight, comfortable, and practical enough to use consistently — otherwise it simply won’t get worn.”
Protection only works if you actually wear it — every case.
Why Head and Neck Protection
Measured scatter patterns during fluoroscopy-guided procedures demonstrate significant exposure to the operator’s head and neck.*
Texray closes the gap - as the animation from the phantom study* proves.
