About protective apparel
Protective body clothing under the bloodborne pathogens standard includes gowns, aprons, lab coats, clinic jackets and similar outer garments, and the type and characteristics depend on the task and the degree of exposure anticipated. A surgical gown is a garment worn by health care personnel during surgical procedures to protect both the patient and the personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate matter, and all surgical gowns must be provided sterile and labelled as a surgical gown. Non-surgical isolation gowns are Class I devices intended to protect the wearer from the transfer of microorganisms and body fluids in low or minimal risk patient isolation situations, and are not worn during surgical or invasive procedures.
The garment that takes the splash: gowns, aprons, lab coats and jackets worn as an outer garment. Classified by liquid barrier performance.
