Medical gown
Medical gown is a piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is worn by healthcare professionals during medical procedures. Medical gowns are designed to protect the wearer from the spread of infections and disease.
Types of Medical Gowns[edit | edit source]
There are two main types of medical gowns: surgical gowns and isolation gowns.
Surgical Gowns[edit | edit source]
Surgical gowns are worn by surgeons and other healthcare professionals involved in patient care during surgical procedures. They are made of specialized fabric designed to repel body fluids, blood, and other potentially infectious materials.
Isolation Gowns[edit | edit source]
Isolation gowns are used in healthcare settings such as hospital and clinic rooms where patients with infectious diseases are treated. They are designed to protect the wearer from the spread of microorganisms and body fluids in low or minimal risk patient isolation situations.
Standards and Regulations[edit | edit source]
Medical gowns must meet certain standards and regulations to ensure they provide the necessary protection. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the production and distribution of medical gowns.
