Surgical Gown

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. Barrier Protection for Surgical Team and Patient
  • Primary Use: Provides a protective barrier between the surgical team and the patient, preventing the transmission of microorganisms from the surgical team to the patient and protecting the surgical team from exposure to blood, body fluids, and other potentially infectious materials during surgical procedures.
  • How it helps: For the surgeon and operating room team, the surgical gown is essential for maintaining aseptic technique—creating a barrier that protects both the patient from the team’s skin flora and the team from patient-borne pathogens. For the patient undergoing surgery, this means reduced risk of surgical site infections and confidence that the surgical team is following strict infection control protocols.
2. Fluid Resistance for Blood and Body Fluid Protection
  • Primary Use: Constructed with fluid-resistant or fluid-impervious materials to protect the wearer from blood, body fluid splashes, and sprays during surgical procedures, meeting AAMI level standards for barrier protection based on the anticipated level of fluid exposure.
  • How it helps: For the surgical team, fluid-resistant gowns provide critical protection against bloodborne pathogens during procedures with potential for splashing or high fluid volumes. For the patient, this ensures that the surgical team can focus on the procedure without concern for exposure, while also preventing contamination of the sterile field.
3. Maintenance of Sterile Field Integrity
  • Primary Use: Worn by all scrubbed personnel in the operating room to maintain the integrity of the sterile field, with sterile back closure ensuring that the gown remains sterile during donning and throughout the surgical procedure.
  • How it helps: For the surgical team, the sterile gown defines the boundaries of the sterile field—any contact with non-sterile surfaces requires a gown change, reinforcing the discipline of aseptic technique. For the patient, this meticulous attention to sterility directly contributes to lower surgical site infection rates.
4. Comfort and Mobility During Surgical Procedures
  • Primary Use: Ergonomically designed with reinforced seams, raglan sleeves, and breathable back panels to provide comfort and freedom of movement during lengthy surgical procedures without compromising barrier protection.
  • How it helps: For the surgeon and scrub team, comfortable, well-fitting gowns allow for unrestricted movement during long procedures—reducing fatigue and maintaining surgical precision. For the patient, this means the surgical team can perform with optimal dexterity throughout the operation.
5. Antistatic and Low-Lint Properties
  • Primary Use: Designed with antistatic and low-lint properties to prevent static discharge that could interfere with sensitive electronic equipment and minimize lint shedding that could contaminate the surgical field.
  • How it helps: For the surgical team, antistatic properties reduce the risk of static discharge that could interfere with electrosurgical units, patient monitors, or other sensitive equipment. For the patient, low-lint gowns prevent foreign particles from entering the surgical wound.

SECONDARY & SUPPORTIVE USES

1. Orthopedic Surgery: Essential for procedures with significant blood and irrigation fluid exposure.
2. Cardiovascular Surgery: Provides barrier protection for open heart and vascular procedures.
3. General Surgery: Standard attire for all general surgical procedures.
4. Obstetric and Gynecologic Surgery: Used for Cesarean sections, hysterectomies, and other procedures.
5. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Worn during cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
6. Outpatient Surgery: Standard for ambulatory surgery centers and same-day surgery.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  • Proper Donning: For sterile gowns, don using aseptic technique; avoid touching the outside of the gown.
  • Proper Sizing: Select appropriate size for comfort and full coverage.
  • Closure: Ensure proper closure for complete barrier protection.
  • Cuff Integrity: Ensure cuffs are properly positioned for glove overlap.
  • Fluid Exposure: Replace gown if fluid penetrates the barrier.
  • Single-Use: Do not reuse; discard after each procedure.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

  • Contamination: If the gown becomes contaminated, remove immediately; replace with a fresh gown.
  • Skin Irritation: If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use; consider alternative gown type.
  • Allergic Reaction: If allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use; seek medical attention.
