HAND-MADE BODY LEAD APRON
Abstract
A hand-made body lead apron was successfully done by using the lead sheets in the used dental films. The x-ray protections was perfect. The total cost was much cheaper than the commercial one. However, its weight was higher due to the thickerness of the total lead used. The process in making this apron was simple and should be promoted to be used in our country.
