Isolation Gown

Medical Isolation Gown

High-quality medical procedures cannot be completed without a safe & sterilized environment and complete protection of patients and medics. Medical gowns or isolator gowns are part of Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) that serve as a protective barrier between patients and professional medics.
High-quality medical procedures cannot be completed without a safe & sterilized environment and complete protection of patients and medics. Medical gowns or isolator gowns are part of Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) that serve as a protective barrier between patients and professional medics.

For assuring safety and protection, Association for Advanced Medical Instrumentation(AAMI) standards regulate the manufacturing of surgical and medical gowns for different levels of risk handling.

Level 1- minimal risk protection in settings like basic medical care units.
Level 2- low risk protection in settings like intensive care units, blood drawing from veins, or pathology labs.
Level 3- moderate risk protection in settings like arterial blood draw, inserting an iv, emergency room, trauma
Level 4- highest risk protection against blood-borne pathogens, non-airborne viruses, and fluid resistance. It is used mostly in the critical care units, treating pathogens, and for virus exposure minimization.

Why are isolation gowns important?

 

Healthcare Industry

Whether in the surgery room or contacting otherwise, wearing gowns for paramedics is very important to minimize the risks of getting affected. The medical gowns are compulsory to be worn by the medical professionals while surgery of the patients to avoid transmission of any kind of viruses or germs to patients with weaker immune systems. Therefore, medical and surgical gowns are part of personal protective equipment for the infection-control strategy. In the wake of COVID-19, the chances of getting contaminated by virus have been higher than normal circumstances. For this health emergency, all the medical workers and professionals as well as patients are bound to wear the medical or surgical mask to avoid cross-transmission and spread of the deadly virus.

Manufacturing Industry

Manufacturing industry is a wide industry with hundreds of different sub-domains. The manufacturing processes where workers are exposed to risks of hazardous materials like molten metals, administrative and engineering control requirements, it is necessary to cover full body by using isolation gowns.

Construction Industry

Construction industry is a set of many small industries related to construction. There are many processes where covering the whole body is a necessity. Where, on one side, covering eyes and face to provide protection against debris and dust is important, it is also mandatory to cover body in the work with exposure to chemicals, e.g varnish, paint.

Food and Beverages

In the food and beverages industry, there is a two-dimensional risk. The workers are exposed to risk of toxic chemicals and on the other hand, they might be a reason to contaminate the food. Therefore, in the food processing environment, where a minute carelessness can have life endangering affects, it is mandatory to wear isolation gowns to create a protective membrane. Medical or surgical gowns are also worn by people other than medical workers. Anyone with the risk of exposure to blood fluid should wear these masks for example in tattoo practicing.

People Usually Ask

Why are isolation gowns important?

add
Isolation gowns are important healthcare safety materials as they serve to protect the arms, other exposed areas of the body, and clothes, offering a barrier protection, from germs and contamination with body fluids. Isolation gowns are not necessary as a home or public place health safety wear. They are, however, essential in hospitals, particularly surgical rooms and in medical laboratories. A healthcare practitioner can still be at risk of infectious diseases if he/she does not use of laboratory gown even when a medical face mask and a face shield is used. Infectious pathogens on clothes and parts of the body can be transmitted to the nose and mouth unknowingly and a gown will prevent that since it will be removed immediately after use. Isolation gowns are also crucial for use in industries where workers may stand at risk of contamination with disease pathogens or contact with toxic chemicals.

What are isolation gowns made of?

add
Reusable isolation gowns are usually made from cotton or a synthetic material like polyester. Disposable gown manufacturers make use of polyethylene or polypropylene during the manufacturing process. Many isolation gown manufacturers prefer to use synthetic materials over cotton as they are less hydrophobic and will generally block fluids better.

What kind of disposable gown for a hospital?

add
Many isolation gowns exist to serve different purposes. Medical gowns, for example are created to be suitable for use in hospitals are they are usually made from synthetic materials which are much more hydrophobic Disposable gowns for hospital use should be lightweight and dry readily to provide no humid environment needed for many pathogens to thrive. The Kare Lab manufactures several types of disposable medical gown which can be purchased in bulk.

How are surgical gowns tested?

add
Surgical gown factories are to adhere to the AAMI standards for determining the efficiency of isolation gowns. This standard test gowns by accessing the liquid absorption rate of the material used and the protection integrity in the critical zone (sleeves, gown tie, and the front body). The critical zone is where a medical practitioner has the highest rate of being contaminated, or to contact with infectious material. As a surgical gown manufacturer, the Kare Lab follows these essential steps in accessing the quality of its isolation gowns.
