Patient Gown/Isolation gown

A patient gown, also known as an isolation gown, is a type of clothing worn by patients in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings. It is designed to provide coverage and protect the patient’s clothing from bodily fluids, stains, and other contaminants.

Patient gowns are usually made from lightweight, disposable materials such as non-woven polypropylene or spunbonded polypropylene. They may also be made from reusable materials, such as cotton or polyester, that can be laundered and sterilized for reuse.

Patient gowns typically have a tie-back or tie-neck design, which allows for easy removal and replacement as needed. They may also have long sleeves and an open back for easy access during medical procedures.

Isolation gowns, on the other hand, are specifically designed for use in situations where the patient is at a higher risk of infection. They are typically made from fluid-resistant materials and have more coverage to protect the user and others from the spread of germs and bacteria.

Overall, patient gowns and isolation gowns are an essential part of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the healthcare industry. They help to protect both patients and healthcare workers from the spread of infection and provide a practical and hygienic way to manage patient care.
