The Difference Between Protective Medical Gowns and Cloth Isolation Gowns

The main difference between medical protective clothing and cloth isolation gowns is that medical protective clothing is more durable than coverall isolation gowns, with higher protection levels and better protective performance. In addition to meeting the requirements of high-strength, high-abrasion, etc., the two are often different due to different protection purposes and protection principles. Although protective medical gowns are better than cloth isolation gowns, the cost is relatively high, so for different jobs, the choice of protective gowns is also different.

1. The difference between medical protective clothing and cloth isolation gowns

1.1 Different functions

Medical protective clothing is the medical protective equipment worn by clinical medical staff when they come into contact with patients with Class A or infectious diseases managed by Class A. Cloth isolation gowns are protective equipment used for medical staff to avoid contamination by blood, body fluids and other infectious substances during contact, or to protect patients from infection.

1.2 Different user indications

Wear cloth isolation gowns:

A) When contacting patients with infectious diseases spread by contact, such as patients with infectious diseases, patients with multi-drug resistant bacteria infections, etc.

B) When the patient is subjected to protective isolation, such as the diagnosis, treatment, and nursing of patients with extensive burns and bone graft patients.

C) When you may be splashed by the patient's blood, body fluids, secretions, and feces.

D) When entering key departments such as ICU, NICU, protective ward, etc., whether coverall isolation gown is required or not depends on the purpose of entry and the contact status of the medical staff with the patient.

Wear medical protective clothing:

When contacting patients with airborne and droplet-borne infectious diseases, they may be splashed by the patient's blood, body fluids, secretions, and feces.

1.3 Different objects of use

Medical gowns (protective medical gowns) are one-way isolation to prevent infection of medical staff and are mainly for medical staff; while cloth isolation gowns are used to prevent medical staff from being infected or contaminated and prevent patients from being infected, which is a two-way isolation.

2. Advantages of protective medical gowns over cloth isolation gowns

2.1 Protective medical gowns is also an important part of medical protective equipment. Its basic requirement is to block harmful substances such as viruses and bacteria, so as to protect medical staff from infection during diagnosis, treatment and nursing.

2.2 Protective medical gowns should also meet the functional requirements of normal use, and have better wearing comfort and safety, such as better moisture permeability, flame retardancy and alcohol corrosion resistance.

2.3 Protective medical gowns have the characteristics of anti-permeability, good air permeability, high strength and high hydrostatic pressure resistance. It is mainly used in industrial, electronic, medical, chemical and anti-bacterial environments.
