- Designed for procedures with a high risk of fluid exposure, it features an impervious barrier in critical zones to ensure maximum protection for surgical teams
Uses
- High-Fluid Procedures:
- Specifically used in operating rooms for surgeries involving large volumes of blood or bodily fluids
- Infection Control:
- Utilized in surgical centers and emergency departments to prevent microbial transmission and maintain a sterile field
- Sterile Environments:
- Ideal for any clinical setting requiring high-level protective apparel during invasive procedures
Features
- AAMI Level 4 Protection:
- Classified at the highest liquid barrier level for critical zones, including the chest and sleeves
- Impervious Reinforcement:

Benefits
- Superior Fluid Resistance:
- More effective than standard SMS gowns at blocking pathogens and liquid penetration in critical areas
- Clinician Comfort:
- Despite its high protection level, the material is breathable and lightweight to minimize heat stress during long surgeries
- Enhanced Mobility:
- The raglan-sleeve design provides extra room for movement, reducing the likelihood of gown displacement or tearing during active procedures
- Reliable Safety:
