The GLiFT® product line

We've got
your back.

Heavy lead aprons shouldn't compromise your health. GLiFT® is a first-of-its-kind endoskeleton system that shifts weight off your neck, shoulders and spine.

Why GLiFT®

Lighter on your body. Same proven protection.

Reduced orthopedic strain

Orthopedic injury sidelines more interventionalists than radiation ever will. GLiFT bears the weight so your body doesn't have to.

Proven radiation protection

Trusted core shielding material with a formulation that hasn't changed in 15 years.

Innovative design

Rigid mantis bars transfer apron weight to the pelvic bone — freeing your upper body and supporting natural movement.

Built for long cases

An adjustable belt with memory-foam padding and breathable spacer mesh for lasting comfort.

The line

An apron with a built-in frame.

Every GLiFT® garment is unisex, with reinforced stitching for the endoskeleton, and comes with a thyroid shield, sleeves, belt, reinforced front pocket and pocket art. Available in 14 colors.
