INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:

The Wilmington VA Medical Center located at 1601 Kirkwood Highway is proposing to procure 24 Infab lead aprons and 17 radiation protection glasses. These offer some of the best protection the market has to offer and is needed by our vascular, radiology, anesthesia, and pain management staff; especially with the expansion of our endovascular program. The Wilmington VAMC has purchased from Infab before and possesses the unique Infab Lead Apron Smart Tracking System. No other lead aprons can be tracked with Infab s Smart Track, which leads Wilmington to pursue its radiation protection equipment from Infab and uniform its stock as a sole source.

OBJECTIVES/REQUIREMENTS:

The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, (460) Wilmington, Delaware, hereby referred to as the Wilmington VAMC (460), is seeking the acquisition of (24) Infab lead aprons and (17) radiation protection glasses. These will be additions to support our expansion of surgical services, such as, endovascular, and are compatible with our existing Infab Smart Track System at our facility. These lead aprons and glasses are necessary for the protection of our staff against harmful radiation from infrared and x-rays. If we do not have the proper protection for our staff, we run into the situation of delaying vascular cases that could cause a degradation of patient care.

Vest/ Kilt, Full wrap around or full frontal based on the use.

All Lead Aprons shall be made of lead equivalent to 0.5mm lead in the front and 0.35mm back. (e.g., 0.25 mm over lapping in the front equals 0.5mm coverage.)
