People who are fighting against the invisible enemies are doctors and healthcare professionals. Without wearing superman cape, they struggle with infectious microbes. “Protective Gowns” are the only shield for them to get protection. Not only medical practitioners but patients also get protected from the penetration of microbes while in contact with Doctors.
Protective gowns are made up of Fluid resistant fabric. Healthcare Industries are taken into account of lot of Guidelines while buying the PPE Elements like Medical gowns, Isolation Barrier gowns, gloves, Face shield, surgical face masks and others.
In this case, AAMI (The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) designed particular standards to help healthcare textiles manufactures to produce a Real Protective Shield for Healthcare Professionals.
HY Supplies Inc is imparting AAMI Standard Isolation Gowns like Level-1 Isolation Gowns [Minimal Water barrier Protection (Water Impact is less than or equal to 4.5g)], Level -2 Isolation gowns [Low-level Water barrier Protection (Water impact is less than or equal to 1g)].
It’s very important to check Medical gowns resistance against fluid and the impact of the fabric under the hydrostatic pressure.
It’s our duty to make our Healthcare workers to do their duties without fear and anxiety.
“Isolation Gowns”, “Surgical Gowns” are considered as a very important “Medical Device”, “Protective Shield” to Medical Professionals.
Healthcare Textiles manufactures considering the Barrier factors to produce Medical Gowns.
Because medical gowns comprises of Barrier properties against the fluid, would protect medical professionals against the Microbes and infectious liquids while they contact them in the treatment process.AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) established some standards for surgical gowns and other Healthcare Textiles used in the critical zones.AAMI Standard ( ANSI/AAMI PB70 ) has defined the fluid and microbes resistance of the medical gowns and drapes for the critical zone where Medical Professionals handling the fluids like blood and other liquids.Depending upon the Protection level AAMI Standards give Ratings:Level 1: Minimal Fluid Barrier ProtectionLevel-1 Medical gowns are not used in the OR and they have a minimal level of fluid resistivity and used in the regular patient care section where fluid exposure is low.Applicable areas: Basic Care unit of HospitalsLevel 2: Low Fluid Barrier Protection:Level -2 Protective gowns used in the lower level of fluid exposure surgical process.Applicable Areas: Blood taken from the vein, Pathology Labs, SuturingLevel 3: Moderate Fluid Barrier Protection:Level-3 Medical Gowns used in the Surgical procedure where exposure to the fluid is at a moderate level.Applicable areas: Emergency room, Blood draw in ArterialLevel 4: Highest Fluid Barrier and Microbial Barrier Protection:Level -4 Medical Gowns providing protection against the infectious microorganisms and fluid at a high level.Applicable areas: Place where a large amount of Fluid Exposure.Understand the barrier protective properties of Medical Gowns before buying protective barrier gowns for Medical Professionals.
