FAQs
What are disposable surgical gowns used for?
Disposable surgical gowns are designed to protect healthcare professionals and patients by providing a sterile barrier during surgical procedures. These gowns help reduce the risk of contamination from fluids, microorganisms and other hazardous materials.
They are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, outpatient surgical centres and emergency medical environments.
What levels of protection do disposable surgical gowns offer?
Surgical gowns are classified into four levels of protection according to the AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standards:
- Level 1 — Minimal protection, suitable for basic care and standard hospital procedures.
- Level 2 — Low protection, ideal for procedures with low fluid exposure.
- Level 3 — Moderate protection, used in procedures with moderate fluid exposure.
- Level 4 — Highest protection, providing resistance to viral and liquid penetration for high-risk surgical procedures.
Always select a gown appropriate for the level of exposure expected during the procedure.
What materials are disposable surgical gowns made from?
Most disposable surgical gowns are made from non-woven materials such as SMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond) or SMMS fabrics. These materials offer breathability, strength and fluid resistance.
Higher-protection gowns may have reinforced panels or multilayer constructions to enhance barrier performance.
Are disposable surgical gowns sterile?
Yes, many disposable surgical gowns are supplied sterile and individually packaged to maintain aseptic conditions until use. Sterile gowns are essential for operating theatres and other high-risk medical settings.
Non-sterile gowns are available as well and are suitable for general medical or isolation purposes where sterility is not required.
How should disposable surgical gowns be disposed of after use?
Used surgical gowns should be carefully removed and disposed of according to facility guidelines. If contaminated with bodily fluids or hazardous substances, they must be discarded in designated clinical waste bins.
Proper disposal helps prevent cross-contamination and supports compliance with infection-control protocols.
