Gowns & Coats

Disposable gowns cover the torso and arms and are quicker to put on and take off than a coverall. That is why they are standard wherever people enter a hygiene area for a short time, or where clothing needs protecting during treatment and care.

The range covers three levels: lightweight 30 g/m² PP visitor gowns in white and blue for site tours and hygiene zones; a 40 g/m² SMS protective gown with knitted cuffs and back ties for medical and industrial use; and a sterile surgical gown in reinforced SMS, EO-sterilised, individually packed and listed to EN 13795. The right choice depends on whether you only need to protect clothing, need a liquid barrier, or require a sterile field.

Typical applications

• Visitors and suppliers in food and pharmaceutical plants
• Nursing, isolation areas and examinations in hospitals and care homes
• Laboratory work with splash risk
• Surgical procedures requiring a sterile gown
• Telling visitors and staff apart by colour

What to look for when buying

For pure visitor use a PP visitor gown is enough, and white and blue help distinguish guests from employees. The white gowns close with press studs, the blue ones with a hook-and-loop fastening at the neck. As soon as liquids are involved, the SMS gown is the appropriate option: it is listed as water-repellent and has close-fitting knitted cuffs.

Only the sterile gown is intended for the operating theatre. Check the pack sizes too: visitor gowns come 10 to a bag or 50 to a carton, while the surgical gown is individually sterile-packed and available from 25 pieces.
