Isolation gowns are single-use protective garments designed to prevent the spread of infectious agents between healthcare workers, visitors, and patients. They create a barrier to block contaminants, whether protecting vulnerable patients (like those with burns) from healthcare-associated infections or shielding staff from contagious diseases.
These gowns are classified as single-use medical devices and are typically regulated under general medical device laws, with requirements for performance, sterility, and labeling. They are widely available through hospital supply chains, medical distributors, and online retailers, often categorized by fluid resistance and coverage area.
