X-ray illuminator firm Maxant Technologies and Pro-Tech X-Ray have formed a joint venture to provide radiation protective apparel.

The joint venture, called MaxPro, will manufacture a line of radiation protective apparel and accessories, including Maxant of Niles, IL. The line includes the firm's Cool-Tech design, a mesh-back approach that offers unrestricted airflow across the back while fitting the natural contour of the body, Maxant said.

Maxant said it would market and sell this line of aprons in addition to radiation protection eyewear and other accessories.
