Gowns

Gowns used in laboratories and hospitals are essential garments designed to protect healthcare workers and researchers from exposure to infectious agents, chemicals, or other hazardous substances. These gowns are typically made from materials that provide a barrier against fluids and contaminants, such as non-woven fabrics or specialized breathable materials. Depending on the level of protection needed, gowns may vary in design and features, ranging from disposable apron-style gowns for basic protection to full-length, fluid-resistant gowns with sealed seams for high-risk situations. Proper gowning practices are crucial in healthcare settings to minimize the risk of cross-contamination and maintain a sterile environment during medical procedures or laboratory work. Regular use of gowns, along with other personal protective equipment, is a key component of infection control protocols in healthcare facilities.
