Personal protective clothing used in the health care sector includes medical gowns, aprons and coveralls, protective hoods, safety boots, face shield and eye protection.Used by medical service workers and frontline workers to be protected from the spread of infection or illness if the wearer comes in contact with potentially infectious liquid and solid material, personal protective clothing is an important overall infection-control global strategy.
The Sri Lankan apparel and personal protective equipment industry have come together to develop and manufacture a series of medical gowns, aprons and coveralls, shoe and head covers to suit various tasks and conditions from minimal risk to high risk.
While medical gowns made in Sri Lanka include surgical gowns, isolation gowns, surgical isolation gowns, non-surgical gowns, procedural gowns, and operating room gowns, only surgical gowns and surgical isolation gowns are recommended by local and global health authorities to be worn in a medium to high risk of contamination to protect both the patient and health care personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate matter.
Disposable aprons and coveralls add an extra layer of protection to the medical gowns and can also be used to protect clothing from moisture and soiling during direct patient care. Appropriate for standard precautions disposable aprons are not recommended for situations where extensive contamination of blood and body fluids can occur.
Shoe covers and head covers or bonnets are personal protective clothing required for full barrier precautions, aimed to prevent the contact with airborne and body fluid-based pathogen
Designed to provide high tensile strength, tear resistance, breathability and liquid buried performance, surgical isolation gowns, aprons, coveralls, shoe covers and head covers are made for single use and require safe disposal under recommended guidelines.
However, medical gowns designed for minimal and low-risk conditions such as isolation gowns, non-surgical gowns, procedural gowns, and operating room gowns are made for reuse.
