What is an Isolation Gown?
Isolation Gowns are personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect the wearer from exposure to bodily fluids, infectious materials, and other possible contaminants. This type of garment is designed to be utilized in healthcare settings and is a vital part of infection control practices.
There are two main materials used in the production of disposable isolation gowns: PP (polypropylene) and SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond). PP is a material that provides basic protection, while SMS provides better breathability and increased protection against fluids. Isolation gowns are available as standard gowns or reinforced gowns, which offer a higher level of resistance to penetration by bodily fluids.
These disposable gowns are highly customizable, as they can be equipped with a tie-on or Velcro collar closure and knitted or elastic cuffs. Weight options range from 28gsm to 45gsm, and sizing ranges from S to XXL.
Isolation Gowns are manufactured by AdvaCare Pharma, a reputable pharmaceutical company with expertise in global distribution. This medical disposable product is carefully produced in a CE/ISO-certified facility situated in China, India, and the USA. These facilities are routinely inspected to ensure our products meet health, safety, and environmental standards.

Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene (PP) isolation gowns are composed of polypropylene, which is a durable and lightweight material. This material is waterproof and able to protect the wearer from liquids and fluids. Additionally, PP provides chemical resistance, ensuring an added layer of protection against potentially harmful substances and contamination. It is suitable for settings where protection from fluids and chemicals is crucial.
Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond (SMS)
Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond (SMS) isolation gowns are composed of a three-layered material of meltblown and spunbond fabrics. This combination of materials offers a higher strength and durability to the gown.
The meltblown layer has been specially added to act as a barrier against bacteria, which increases the garment's effectiveness in preventing the transmission of infectious agents.
Reinforced
Reinforced isolation gowns are specifically designed to provide additional strength compared to standard PPE. The gowns are manufactured from reinforced polypropylene (PP) or spunbond-meltblown-spunbond (SMS).
Reinforced isolation gowns are particularly useful in surgical settings when an extra level of protection is required. It's important to note that patients typically do not need to wear this type of hospital gown.
Tie-on
Tie-on collar closures feature long fabric straps that can be tied at the back of the neck. This allows for a secure and adjustable fit.
The tie-on collar closures offer flexibility in sizing and can accommodate a wide range of neck sizes. This closure style also allows for easy donning and doffing of the isolation gown.
Velcro
Velcro collar closures utilize a convenient and adjustable fastening system that allows for a secure fit around the neck.
The adjustable nature of a velcro closure can allow for a customized fit while accommodating a wide range of neck sizes. This style of collar closure ensures a snug yet comfortable fit while also maintaining the integrity of the isolation gown during a medical procedure.
One Band
One Band waist closures feature a single band that wraps around the waist in order to secure the gown in place. This closure style provides a comfortable and adjustable fit.
The one-band design offers simplicity and efficiency and allows for the easy donning and doffing of the gown while ensuring proper coverage and protection during medical procedures. This style is a popular choice for healthcare professionals due to its ease of use.
Four Bands
Four Bands waist closures feature four separate bands that wrap around the waist in order to secure the gown in place. This closure style offers enhanced stability while ensuring that the gown remains securely in place during medical procedures.
The four-band design accommodates a wider range of body sizes and is considered more comfortable, as the multiple bands more evenly distribute the tension and reduce pressure on the individual wearing the gown.
Isolation gowns with a four-band waist closure are preferred by healthcare professionals who prefer a snug and secure gown that offers optimal protection and ease of movement.
Knitted
Knitted cuffs are made of stretchable and soft fabric. The knitted cuffs offer a secure and comfortable fit around the wrists while also providing an added level of protection by creating a barrier that prevents contaminants from entering the sleeves. This feature is particularly important in healthcare settings where infection control is crucial.
Elastic
Elastic cuffs are made of an elastic material that gives a secure and snug fit around the wrists. This style of cuff offer flexibility and stretchability which allows for easy donning and doffing of the gown. The secure fit provided helps to minimize the risk of contaminants entering the sleeves. The convenience of elastic cuffs is preferred by many healthcare professionals and workers in many industries.

Uses
What are Isolation Gowns used for?

How is an Isolation Gown worn?
Healthcare professionals should first wash their hands before selecting the appropriate size gown. The gown should cover the body from the neck to below the knees and be secured at the back or waist. A visual check should be performed to find any defects, as damaged gowns should be discarded.
How should unused Isolation Gowns be stored?
Unused isolation gowns should be stored in a clean and dry area and kept away from direct sunlight, heat sources, chemicals, and moisture. Storing them in their original packaging or in a suitable container can help prevent contamination and damage.
How should used Isolation Gowns be disposed of?
Used isolation gowns should be disposed of according to healthcare facility protocols and regulations. Depending on the specific guidelines, they may be disposed of as medical waste or through designated waste disposal channels.
FAQs
When should Isolation Gowns be used?
Isolation gowns are recommended for many types of settings, including healthcare facilities, laboratories, and cleanrooms. They should be worn for situations that involve potential contact with bodily fluids, blood, pathogens, or hazardous substances. Isolation gowns are also used in isolation units to protect both healthcare workers and patients from the transmission of infectious diseases.
What are the benefits of PP versus SMS Isolation Gowns?
PP gowns are cost-effective, lightweight, and suitable for situations with minimal fluid exposure. SMS gowns provide enhanced barrier protection, better durability, and higher fluid resistance.
What is the difference between a standard and a reinforced Isolation Gown?
The primary difference between a standard gown and a reinforced gown is its construction and level of protection. Standard gowns are typically made from a single layer of fabric, while reinforced gowns have an additional layer of reinforcement in critical areas, usually around the front torso and sleeves. This reinforcement is often made of a different material, such as a plastic film or non-woven fabric, which offers a higher level of fluid resistance compared to standard gowns. Due to the additional layer, reinforced gowns are generally more durable and resistant to tearing and punctures.
When should a standard Isolation Gown or a reinforced Isolation Gown be used?
Standard gowns are recommended for situations with low to moderate fluid exposure, such as routine examination or basic patient care; reinforced gowns are suitable for procedures with an increased risk of fluid splashes or sprays, like during surgeries or invasive medical interventions.
