Surgical Gowns

Surgical gowns are essential personal protective equipment widely utilized in healthcare settings. These gowns are primarily worn by surgeons and their teams during various medical procedures, providing a crucial protective barrier.

Designed to prevent blood penetration and fluid contamination, surgical gowns are typically sterile and available in a range of sizes and styles. They can be purchased individually or as part of surgical packs tailored for commonly performed procedures.

Surgical gowns come in two main types: non-reinforced and reinforced. Non-reinforced gowns are intended for surgeries with low to moderate fluid exposure, while reinforced gowns offer additional protection in critical areas, making them suitable for more invasive procedures.

These gowns cover vital areas from the shoulders to the knees and wrists, featuring either Set-In or Raglan sleeves. Some gowns may include a towel for added convenience.

Most surgical gowns are crafted from SMS fabric, which stands for Spunbond Meltblown Spunbond. This lightweight, non-woven material provides an effective protective barrier while ensuring comfort for the wearer.

Surgical gowns are rated according to AAMI levels, established by the Association of the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, which has been setting medical standards since 1967. AAMI categorizes surgical gowns into four protection levels, ensuring that healthcare professionals can select the appropriate gown for their specific needs.
