The COVID-19 virus outbreak continues. The use of isolation gowns is becoming more and more popular among the general population. These gowns are part of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). At this time of the pandemic, public demand for gowns is also growing. Because the spread of the virus increases the risk of infection. This gives us even more reason to look for simple solutions to combat the disease. The use of isolation gowns can help individuals protect themselves.
What is an isolation suit?
Isolation gowns protect frontline caregivers from the penetration of fluids and infectious droplets. It also helps stop the spread of microbes to immunocompromised patients.
Surgical and isolation gowns
Surgical gowns: Surgical gowns should be worn for any risk level (1 to 4). A surgical gown is a type of protective clothing worn by medical staff during surgery to protect patients and personnel from the spread of microorganisms, fluids or particles. Surgical gowns should be marked “Surgical gown”.
surgical isolation gown
Surgical isolation gowns are used in moderate to high contamination situations. For gowns used for surgical isolation, more critical areas are required than conventional gowns. The entire surgical gown (except binding and cuffs and skirts) is considered a critical protected area. They have the highest liquid protective barrier in clothing. All seams should also be secured.
non-surgical gown
Wearing non-surgical gowns can prevent the transfer of microorganisms and bodily fluids during low- or low-risk isolation of patients. Non-surgical gowns should not be worn during surgical or other invasive procedures if there is a moderate and high risk of contamination. Non-surgical gowns are similar to surgical isolation gowns.
