General Purpose and Isolation Gowns

General purpose gowns are personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to provide a barrier between the wearer and potentially hazardous substances or environments. These gowns are used in a variety of industries and applications where protection against splashes, sprays, liquids, fluids, blood, and pathogens is required. PPE gowns can encompass a range of different types of gowns, including isolation gowns or chemotherapy gowns, that provide a higher level of barrier protection for specific applications and have certifications and compliances associated with them to ensure quality and performance. Isolation gowns are designed to protect healthcare workers and patients from the transfer of infectious agents. They are typically used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and clinics, where there is a risk of exposure to bodily fluids or pathogens. Chemotherapy gowns, often referred to as chemo gowns, provide protection for healthcare workers and patients during chemotherapy treatments and offer resistance to drugs and other hazardous substances. It is important to select the appropriate type of gown based on the specific hazards and requirements of the task at hand. Regulatory compliance details can be obtained at the individual product level.

General purpose PPE gowns may be made from materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or other synthetic materials that offer fluid resistance. They are often disposable and come in various sizes to accommodate different body types.
