High Performance Radiation Protection
The quality demands for X-ray protective clothing today are greater than ever. Wearing times of protective clothing are extended by modern, radiologically supported procedures in diagnostics and treatment. The protection requirements differ depending on the intended use.
Our well-thought out product line allows us to offer you the technically mature and wide range of models that you can expect from us as an international market leader in the field of radiation protection.
Flexible Comfort for Users and Best Workmanship
Smoothness and flexibility are special features of MAVIG X-ray protective clothing. To further optimise the wearing comfort for the user, special attention is paid to superior cuts and excellent workmanship – Quality Made in Germany.
Safety & Control
Through extensive research and testing we guarantee healthy working conditions for the users of our products, with the greatest possible ecological and toxicological safety.
This is achieved by careful selection of the materials as well as our suppliers, strict controls in the production process and the final recycling of the materials.
MAVIG uses two different protective materials to attenuate X-radiation. Each of the materials is optimally adapted to the required radiation protection at a minimum weight.
NEW: NovaLite® Plus
The new NovaLite® Plus radiation protective material has been developed as a lead-containing material with significantly reduced weight thanks to a special production technology. At the same time, it is suitable for applications in the entire X-ray tube voltage range of 50 – 150 kV, including computed tomography (CT) applications. In addition, NovaLite® Plus is fully recyclable, helping to protect the environment.
The first-class protective material represents a high-quality solution and fulfills the requirements of the IEC 61331-1:2014 / DIN EN 61331-1:2016 standards for the determination of the attenuation properties of materials.
- Material based on natural rubber
- X-ray protection according to IEC 61331-1:2014 / DIN EN 61331-1:2016 – the most stringent standards worldwide
- Tested radiation protection in the X-ray tube voltage range from 50 to 150 kV

| 0,50 mm Pb | 6,30 kg/m² | > 99 % | 99 % | 97 % | 95 % | 92 % |
NEW: Leadfree 2.0
New production technologies have enabled us to significantly reduce the area weight of our Leadfree 2.0. It is now one of the lightest materials on the market, is non-toxic and ideal for workplaces where protective clothing is worn for long periods of time.
In our Leadfree 2.0, lead has been replaced by bismuth and other additional radiation-absorbing additives. Of course, the strict requirements of IEC 61331-1:2014 / DIN EN 61331-1:2016 for determining attenuation properties are still met with this material.
- Fulfilment of essential work-related physiological requirements (such as flexibility, stability, weight optimization, etc.)
- Material based on natural rubber
- X-ray protection according to IEC 61331-1:2014 / DIN EN 61331-1:2016 – the most stringent standards worldwide
- Tested radiation protection in the X-ray tube voltage range from 50 to 110 kV

Best Wearing Comfort and Modern Processing
Smoothness and flexibility are special quality features of MAVIG X-ray protective clothing. In order to further optimise the wearing comfort for the user, a special emphasis is placed on selective tailoring and top workmanship in our factory.
MAVIG’s innovative textiles were developed in accordance with the relevant requirements of DIN EN 13795-1:2019. This series of standards sets vital, reasonable safety requirements for the necessary quality of surgical textiles for the protection of patients and staff from infections. The following requirements were used as a basis for performance capability:
- Protection for the staff and the patients
- High barrier function
- Optimal hygiene/cleaning
- Low particle release
- Material strength
- Protection against electrostatic charge
Our ComforTex® Materials are PFC-free:
Progress for the Environment and Health
Thanks to a new technology of MAVIG in the production process of the outer materials „ComforTex® HPMF“, „ComforTex® HPMF Hybrid“ and „ComforTex® HPMF Duplex“ for your X-ray and patient protective clothing, the use of fluorinated chemicals is completely dispensed. This means that the product remains free of hazardous PFCs throughout its life cycle (per- and polyfluorinated chemicals, also known as fluorocarbons).
Our HPMF® outer material meets the Oeko-Tex® 100 standard. This certification guarantees that our materials meet high environmental and health standards, ensuring they are completely free from prohibited substances and harmful chemicals.
ComforTex® HPMF
Robust, Protective, Safe
Our proven ComforTex® HPMF offers you the highest level of wearing comfort in everyday working life: whether as a body-hugging material for our Hybrid or as the entire surface for your X-ray protective clothing.
Furthermore, our ComforTex® HPMF as well as the two other materials ComforTex® HPMF Hybrid and Duplex offer safety and protection against electrostatic charge, which could affect the proper functioning of sensitive medical devices. ComforTex® HPMF also fulfills the relevant requirements in accordance with DIN EN 13795:2013.
ComforTex® HPMF Hybrid and ComforTex® HPMF Duplex
A Reliable Outer Material With an Optimised Coating
In order to best meet your needs in everyday working life, you can choose from several variants of our ComforTex® HPMF outer material.
With our ComforTex® HPMF variant Hybrid and Duplex, we combine maximum comfort for the wearer with optimum hygienic and cleaning properties.
In the Hybrid material, the side in contact with the body is manufactured with ComforTex® HPMF, so the well-known wearing comfort is maintained. At the same time, the surface on the outside of the protective clothing shows significantly improved hygienic and cleaning properties thanks to a special coating.
For this reason, our Hybrid material is particularly suitable in areas with high fluid volumes.
Selected MAVIG products can be ordered with ComforTex® HPMF Duplex. Here the special coating of ComforTex® HPMF Hybrid is used on both sides.
It goes without saying that ComforTex® HPMF Hybrid and ComforTex® HPMF Duplex, like a high-performance surgical textile, also meet the relevant requirements in accordance with DIN EN 13795:2013.
* The design pattern «Happy» is exclusively available in the outer material ComforTex® HPMF.
