Disclosed herein are protective garments and methods for using the same. In one aspect, the garment includes a garment body configured to be worn on a portion of a wearer's body, the garment body comprising at least one protective segment configured to block a predetermined level of radiation. Also disclosed herein are method of making the disclosed garments and methods for using the disclosed garments.

A radiation protection device for providing protection of a body part that includes active bone marrow from ionizing radiation may include a radiation protection component configured to be placed adjacent to and externally cover the body part so as to reduce a radiation dose absorbed in that body part.

It is a clothing or accessory for protection against ionizing radiation comprising a body of flexible material threadable by an operator and reinforcing protection means comprising of one or more layers or plates protecting against ionizing radiation integrated within said body. The garment comprises at least two parts, each provided with a magnetic element for setting, adjusting, arranging or closing the garment or accessory when one of the parts is activated by the operator to cooperate with the other part. Each magnetic element is composed of at least two groups each comprising at least one positive magnet and at least one negative magnet, the groups of the same magnetic element being set directly or indirectly on the same support and/or between them and being able to co-operate with the groups of opposing polarities of the other magnetic element.

A radiation protection garment. The radiation protection garment includes one or more lead-based panels and a cooling system. The cooling system includes one or more air flow paths containing air and one or more air vents that provide fluid communication between atmosphere and the one or more air flow paths. Movement of the radiation protection garment causes the air in the one or more air flow paths to flow through the one or more air flow paths and exit through the one or more air vents. Additionally, or alternatively, the radiation protection garment includes one or more lead-based panels and a support system. The support system distributes a weight of the radiation protection garment away from at least one of a neck or a lower back of a user while the user is wearing the radiation protection garment.

A device for protection of a body from radiation includes at least one flexible garment. Each section of the flexible garment is configured to shield a region of a surface of the body. Each section complementarily attenuates self-shielding by internal structure between the region and an interior region of the body such that radiation at the interior region is attenuated to a predefined attenuation level.
