Fluid resistance or imperviousness is vital in surgical gowns to protect healthcare workers and patients from blood, fluids, and other contaminants. Higher fluid resistance is essential in high-risk or lengthy procedures, while lighter resistance may suffice for general care. For instance, the Impervious Plastic Film Gown and Standard Polyethylene Thumb Loop Isolation Gown, XL offer excellent imperviousness, making them suitable for procedures with significant fluid exposure. The Polypropylene Isolation Gown is better for light protection. The range of options allows facilities to match gown fluid resistance to the procedure, optimizing safety and cost.
