Key Products
Burlington Medical is a vertically integrated radiation protection company that prioritizes people, innovation, environmentally safe manufacturing, and the production of high-quality, made-in-the-USA products. The company specializes in providing essential radiation protection garments, eyewear, and attenuation materials, designed to meet the critical needs of professionals working in high-radiation environments.
Radiation Protection Garments
Burlington Medical offers a wide range of radiation protection garments, including aprons designed for medical providers in Cardiac Cath labs, Radiology, Interventional Radiology, and other high-exposure environments. The company is the only one in the industry to offer truly tailored radiation protection garments, ensuring the best coverage with the lightest possible attenuation without compromising safety. One of the company’s latest innovations, in collaboration with Dr. Lauren Ramsey, is the BAT, which specifically protects providers from scatter radiation in vulnerable areas such as the breast, axilla, and thyroid. This addresses the known risk of higher breast cancer incidence in radiation technologists and physicians, who face a greater risk than the general population.
Radiation Protection Eyewear
In 2024, Burlington Medical launched its own line of radiation protection eyewear, featuring some of the lightest lead glass lenses and frames available on the market. The eyewear is designed to mitigate the effects of scatter radiation on the eyes while offering stylish, comfortable, and durable frames, ensuring protection for providers throughout long procedures.
Attenuation Material
As a vertically integrated company, Burlington Medical manufactures its own attenuation materials, which are used in the company’s garments and sold to various industries such as radiation protection devices, air travel safety, food safety, and radiation source blocking systems. This integration allows Burlington Medical to maintain full control over product quality and innovation. The company’s patented, high-performance attenuation materials are developed through a unique extrusion process that ensures exceptional consistency and superior protection.
