Currently, there is confusion in the marketplace over the terminology of gowns. Its about isolation gowns, cover gowns, precaution gowns, and protective gowns. The term “cover gown” is used to define “isolation gown” or sometimes a gown with no barrier claim. In fact, a “cover gown” is an article of clothing (not a medical device) worn over an operating room (OR) scrub suit/dress when OR personnel leave the OR suit to prevent soiling of the OR scrubs outside of the OR. OR scrub suits/dresses are required to be clean and to not bring extraneous dirt or microbes into the OR suit. The terms “protective gown” and “precaution gown” are also used to define High Risk Isolation Gown in the marketplace. Sometimes, protective gowns are used to refer to impervious gowns with a high level of protection.
ASSURE General Nursing Gown provides barrier protection based on AAMI level 2 requirements for caregiver and healthcare professionals. When used properly, it protects against larger amounts of fluid penetration through splatter and some fluid exposure through soaking of the care giver and healthcare professionals.
