Disposable isolation gowns are specially made to be discarded after a single-use.

As a result, they are made from disposable materials.

They are either made from nonwoven materials (polymers) alone or together with other materials that offer additional protection like plastic films.

Disposable isolation gowns are also made from synthetic fibers, such as polyethylene, polyester, and polypropylene for added protection against body fluids, blood, and other potentially infective materials.

Why Is There The Need For Disposable Isolation Gowns?

The threat from emerging infective diseases such as the coronavirus and pneumonia has greatly emphasized the need to stay safe and prevent the spread of the infection.

Isolation minimizes the spread of infectious diseases by eradicating or controlling the infectious agents (carriers) from moving around and transmitting the disease, protecting susceptible patients, and interrupting the transmission cycle.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a very important part of isolation precautions and must be used in healthcare facilities to minimize the spread of microbes and infections, especially fluid-borne pathogens.

PPE minimizes the exposure of healthcare workers to infectious agents as well as the passage of microbes to isolated patients and visitors.

Several PPEs are appropriate for healthcare workers and one of them is the disposable isolation gowns.

Although there are many other types of isolation gowns, the disposable isolation gown offers a higher level of protection and is more effective at minimizing the transfer of microorganisms as they are made of impermeable materials.

Are Disposable Isolation Gowns Effective?

Repeated studies have shown that impermeable materials are very effective at minimizing the transfer of pathogens and microorganisms.

You will find that disposable isolation gowns are mostly made of nonwoven, impermeable, polymer materials.

However, there are some already sterile disposable isolation gowns, which offer the highest levels of safety and hygiene for delicate operations.

Can You Use The Same Disposable Isolation Gown For Multiple Patients?

Yes, you can use the same disposable isolation gown for multiple patients but there are considerations and exceptions.

This practice is usually referred to as the extended use of disposable isolation gowns.

Here are some considerations:

2. All these patients must be housed in the same isolation center.
3. None of the patients has been diagnosed with or is already infected with any other infectious disease.
4. The disposable isolation gown to be used for multiple patients must be worn by the same healthcare worker.

However, the same disposable isolation gown must not be used for multiple patients if the isolation gown becomes visibly soiled after contact with any patient.

At this point, you must remove and discard the gown even if the other patients suffer the same infectious disease.

More so, you must not use the same disposable isolation gown used for multiple patients with different infectious diseases to prevent cross-contamination.

Why Are There Different Types Of Disposable Isolation Gowns?

Disposable isolation gowns are defined based on the different surgical or non-surgical procedures available.

Standard disposable isolation gowns are used for the low-fluid procedure.

Reinforced or impervious disposable isolation gowns are recommended for high-fluid procedures.
