Before each use, check the neck collar for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks, tears, or creases in the lead lining. Pay close attention to the seams, as these are common areas where wear and tear occur. If any damage is detected, the apron should be taken out of service immediately and assessed by a qualified technician. Regular inspections should also include a thorough annual evaluation using fluoroscopy or other imaging techniques to detect internal damage not visible to the naked eye.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b64b04d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b64b04d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

When not in use, aprons should be hung on a designated rack or hanger designed specifically for lead neck collars. This helps prevent the collar from folding or creasing, which can lead to cracks in the lead lining. Never fold, as this can cause permanent damage. Ensure that the storage area is cool, dry, and free from direct sunlight, as excessive heat and moisture can degrade the materials over time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51982b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"51982b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

However, it\u2019s important to clean the apron gently to avoid damaging the outer fabric or the lead lining. Use a mild detergent or a specialized lead collar cleaner with a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive materials, as these can weaken the fabric and lead to deterioration. After cleaning, allow the collar to air dry completely before storing it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76dfbf1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"76dfbf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.
