There are a variety of fluid resistant and impermeable protective clothing options on the market, including isolation gowns and disposable surgical gowns. 

 

When selecting isolation gowns, the employer shall consider all available information about the recommended isolation gowns, including potential limitations, such as shelf life.

 

The majority of isolation gowns do not have a manufacturer-designated shelf life. However, consideration can be made to using gowns that do and are past their manufacturer-designated shelf life. If there is no date available on the gown label or packaging, facilities should contact the manufacturer.

 

The medical isolation gown can isolate bacteria, viruses and other pathogens from the outside, prevent medical staff from contacting patients directly, play an isolation role, and effectively ensure the life safety of the personnel wearing the isolation gown.
