As the end of financial year rapidly approaches and an intensively volatile global trade environment emerges, Australian healthcare providers sourcing high-quality radiation protection are in a unique position to pro-actively source locally made Australian products. Imaging Solutions is Australia’s and New Zealand’s leading manufacturer of personal radiation protection apparel and shielding.
Our message is simple: by choosing Australian-made radiation protection manufactured here by Imaging Solutions, you can optimise protection, quality, speed, durability – and the support of a local company that understands your environment, because we operate within it and specialise in its design and manufacture. We employ Australians and our products meet all Australian & International standards. Understanding what sets RADsafe® products apart from alternative imported products can help you make informed EOFY decisions that deliver safe, reliable, high-quality protection without compromise.
With more than 25 years of industry experience, Imaging Solutions has built a reputation for leadership in local radiation protection manufacturing – providing the healthcare sector with the confidence, quality and continuity it needs.
Global Pressures, Local Opportunities
The international trade landscape is dramatically changing and is increasingly becoming relatively unpredictable. Offshore sourcing can expose buyers to production and shipping delays, increased costs as a result of volatile currency changes and unexpected market demand shifts. The reality is that in the case of the changes we are seeing presently in the US the predictability of reliable supply chains and quality is being challenged.
In the personal radiation protection space there is a high level of reliance on supply of raw earth materials essential to the manufacture of key core materials used in the PPE products. Demand and availability of these products from overseas sources has become extremely restricted. In Imaging Solutions’ case, we have planned well ahead and will be able to support our local market and also continue to grow our export business. By sourcing locally you will be able to secure faster delivery times, local service support, technical advice, repairs and the confidence of purchasing products built for Australian and international standards and conditions.
Why Support Local? Because It Works.
We know that for procurement teams and clinical decision-makers, cost, compliance, and comfort are front of mind. But just as important is the long-term value and support you receive with your purchase.

Lead Aprons That Do More Than Protect
RADsafe® aprons are more than just a barrier against radiation. They’re a blend of scientific design, advanced ergonomics, and real-world feedback. Here’s what makes them exceptional:
Designed for Comfort and Compliance – Our apron designs are built from population-based sizing data – not outdated assumptions. This means every apron is created to fit actual Australian body types, improving both safety and wearability. We offer gender-specific fits, custom embroidery, a broad choice of patterns and premium fabrics – including the soft, antibacterial, flame-resistant AEGIS material.
Each apron design considers factors like:
- Weight distribution (many designs transfer pressure away from the shoulders to the lower back)
- Procedure type and duration (from quick scans to long surgeries)
- Front and back protection requirements
- Flexible fit for mobility-intensive tasks
Durability That Withstands the Demands of Healthcare
Radiation protection equipment needs to last – period. Our aprons are constructed using premium raw materials, reinforced stitching at high-stress points, and precision cutting for consistent fit. Built-in durability is one of our key differentiators.
Every RADsafe® garment is backed by a two-year warranty as standard. We also offer guidance on care, cleaning and apron storage to maximise the lifespan of your investment.
Tested for Assurance
RADsafe® core materials – including Optima, Assure, and Lite – are manufactured under stringent controls and are tested against global standards such as IEC, DIN and ASTM. All materials undergo random attenuation testing through our RADlab facility to ensure ongoing performance.
Whether you require bi-layer protection for comprehensive shielding or lightweight materials for ergonomic wear, our solutions are supported by science – and trust.
Radiation Shields Built to Perform
In addition to aprons, our RADshield range of mobile radiation shields supports safer environments in high-exposure areas such as catheter labs, hybrid operating theatres, and imaging rooms.
Manufactured here in Australia to meet our stringent quality benchmarks, RADshield units provide durable, adjustable and easily manoeuvrable protection for clinicians and technicians. Like all of our products, they’re made with user comfort and workflow efficiency in mind.
Investing in a local solution also means peace of mind: if your equipment needs servicing or replacement parts, help is just a phone call away.
Custom Solutions for Every Facility

- Custom sizing to suit your team
- Embroidery and branding options for professional presentation
