Surgical gowns are unique garments worn by patients or doctors/surgeons when performing some form of invasive medical treatment; these garments can often be found in hospitals, health care facilities, and certain first aid stations.
The role of disposable surgical gowns serves both patients and doctors; many doctors believe that this burqa is very suitable for auscultation of cardiopulmonary function (because the general burqa is usually made of thin cotton cloth, SMS non-woven fabric). For doctors, surgical gowns protect them from potentially infectious biomaterials, while also preventing the team of surgeons from infecting patients. In terms of form, surgical gowns are short-sleeved/long-sleeved, brightly colored (to identify the wearer as a patient), and can often be disposable (made from SMS instead of cotton) when dealing with hazardous materials, to Avoid the spread of biohazards.
Today, many hospitals use disposable long-sleeved gowns that cover most of the patient’s body. Although disposable surgical gowns are not practical for many surgeries, it is a good choice for patients who are concerned about their physical privacy.
Doctors’ surgical gowns are almost always disposable because of the invasive nature of the procedure, which can easily get body fluids onto the clothes. These single-use gowns are packaged in plastic and typically come with sterile surgical gloves, masks, and head barriers (physician caps, etc.). These disposable surgical gowns are often reusable, and in rare cases, surgical gowns are not exposed to body fluids, but only if they are machine washable, otherwise jeopardizing sterile procedures. Like a doctor’s gown, new gowns are usually handed out to staff at every shift and are thoroughly disinfected with the rest of the hospital’s dirty sheets.
Depending on the surgical procedure, surgical gowns can be made of different materials. When there is a risk of exposure to bodily fluids, doctors often forgo cotton gowns in favor of SMS or PP+PE composite gowns. These fabrics are highly fluid-resistant and block penetration, while allowing for comfort and breathability to the surgeon (important to help them stay focused). For higher protection, surgical gowns not only protect against liquids, but also further protect against pathogens by strengthening fabrics in key areas of the gown. There are also more corrosion-resistant protective garments (“isolation suits”) that are more expensive but are made of higher density, triple-resistant fabrics that will stand the test of time while maintaining a high degree of protection against liquid biohazards.
