Patient Gowns

Patient gowns are garments worn by patients in hospitals and other medical facilities. They are designed for comfort and ease of access for medical examinations and procedures. Here are key features:

1. Material:
   • Typically made from lightweight, breathable fabric, such as cotton or a cotton-polyester blend. Disposable options are usually made from non-woven materials.
2. Design:
   • Loose-fitting with open backs or ties for easy access to the patient’s body. Some have full coverage with snaps or ties at the back.
3. Purpose:
   • Provide modesty and comfort for patients.
   • Allow easy access for medical examinations, tests, and procedures.
   • Maintain hygiene by reducing contamination from patients’ clothing.
4. Use:
   • Worn by patients during hospital stays, outpatient visits, and procedures.

Surgical Gowns

Surgical gowns are worn by medical personnel during surgeries and other procedures to maintain a sterile environment and protect against infection. Here are key features:

1. Material:
   • Made from sterile, fluid-resistant, and sometimes fluid-impermeable materials. Common materials include non-woven fabrics, such as polypropylene, with additional treatments for fluid resistance.
2. Design:
   • Designed to cover the wearer’s entire body, usually from neck to knees, with long sleeves and elastic cuffs to ensure a secure fit. Some gowns have reinforced areas, like the front and sleeves, for extra protection.
3. Purpose:
   • Protect healthcare workers and patients from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate matter.
   • Maintain a sterile field during surgical procedures.
4. Use:
   • Worn by surgeons, nurses, and other operating room staff during surgical procedures and other medical interventions that require a sterile environment.

Differences Between Patient Gowns and Surgical Gowns

• Purpose: Patient gowns are designed for patient comfort and access, while surgical gowns are designed for protection and maintaining sterility during medical procedures.
• Material and Design: Surgical gowns are made from more robust, fluid-resistant materials and have a more secure fit to ensure protection, whereas patient gowns are typically simpler and made from lighter materials.

Both types of gowns play crucial roles in maintaining hygiene, safety, and comfort in medical settings.
