They help prevent the spread of infection
Isolation gowns are important in a clinical setting because they help prevent the spread of infection. Whether you work in the hospital, a lab, or the clinic, there is always a risk that blood borne pathogens may be present and transmitted to someone else who is injured. Direct Textile Store carries isolation gowns to protect professionals against this risk. These gowns are made from polypropylene, which is an inert and impermeable material that can offer protection against blood borne pathogens such as HIV and Hepatitis B & C. The design for these isolation gowns has been approved by the FDA for protection against blood borne pathogens with certification number 205814. They come with a full zipper for easy dressing, or an elastic neck opening for ease of donning over another garment.
