Hand hygiene.
Clean hands before donning. Inspect the gown for tears, defects, or compromised packaging (sterile).
Key Features
Built to the spec
clinicians trust.
01
AAMI PB70 Barrier Levels
Four-level classification from Level 1 (minimal risk) to Level 4 (critical-zone surgery with arterial-pressure fluid exposure).
02
Isolation or Surgical Coverage
Isolation gowns offer partial-back coverage for contact precautions. Surgical gowns wrap fully around the back with reinforced critical zones.
03
Knit or Elastic Cuffs
Fitted cuffs tuck cleanly into glove cuffs to maintain the barrier at the wrists during procedural work.
04
Impervious or Fluid-Resistant
Impervious polyethylene for chemotherapy and high-fluid work; SMS / SMMS nonwoven for routine isolation and general patient care.
Clinical Use / Gowns & Barrier Apparel
How clinicians
use this product.
Isolation and surgical gowns create a fluid-resistant barrier between clinician and patient. AAMI PB70 Levels 1–4 define barrier performance, from minimal-risk patient contact to critical-zone surgical use under arterial-pressure fluid exposure.
Indications
Clinical use cases.
- Standard precautions with risk of fluid or contaminant exposure
- Contact and droplet isolation precautions
- Surgical and procedural asepsis (sterile gowns only)
- Chemotherapy administration (ASTM D6978 chemo-rated impervious gowns)
- Procedures with arterial-pressure fluid or extensive blood exposure (Level 4)
Application Technique
Step by step.
02
/ 05
Don the gown.
Cover torso fully from neck to knees and arms to the end of the wrists. Wrap the gown around the back and tie at the neck and waist.
03
/ 05
Layer the rest of PPE.
Mask or respirator → eye protection → gloves. Gloves pull over the gown cuffs to seal the wrist barrier.
04
/ 05
Doff in the correct order.
Gloves first, then the gown — peel it forward from the shoulders, rolling the outside surface inward. Never touch the outside of a contaminated gown with bare skin.
05
/ 05
Dispose and hand hygiene.
Single-use gowns to waste; reusable gowns to laundry for reprocessing. Perform hand hygiene immediately after doffing.

FAQ / Gowns & Barrier Apparel
Frequently asked.
Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.
What do AAMI PB70 Levels 1–4 mean?
AAMI PB70 is a four-level barrier classification: Level 1 (minimal risk, e.g., routine care), Level 2 (low risk, e.g., venipuncture), Level 3 (moderate risk, e.g., arterial blood draw), Level 4 (high risk, e.g., surgery with arterial fluid exposure). Higher levels resist more hydrostatic pressure and aerosol penetration.
What's the difference between isolation and surgical gowns?
Isolation gowns provide partial-back coverage for contact precautions and general patient care. Surgical gowns wrap fully around the back with reinforced critical zones for sterile procedures. Surgical gowns are sterile and meet Level 3–4; isolation gowns are typically non-sterile Level 1–3.
When do I need chemo-rated apparel?
Chemo-rated gowns are tested for permeation resistance against hazardous drugs under ASTM F739 and D6978. They're required for compounding, administering, or disposing of chemotherapy and other hazardous drugs. Standard impervious gowns are not an adequate substitute.
Impervious vs fluid-resistant — which do I pick?
Fluid-resistant SMS / SMMS gowns meet AAMI Level 1–3 and are appropriate for routine isolation and moderate fluid exposure. Impervious polyethylene or poly-coated gowns (typically Level 4) are required for high-risk fluid exposure, chemo, and arterial-pressure surgical work.
Can these be sterilized and reused?
Disposable gowns are single-use and must be discarded after one patient encounter. Reusable polyester-blend gowns can be laundered and sterilized per facility reprocessing protocols, but require tracked reprocessing cycles and periodic barrier re-validation.
