The material of a surgical gown is crucial because it determines the gown’s breathability, comfort, and protection level. Common materials include polypropylene, polyethylene, SMS (spunbond-meltblown-spunbond), and plastic film. Polypropylene offers lightweight, basic protection and breathability, while polyethylene and plastic film provide higher fluid resistance. SMS fabric delivers a balance of softness, barrier, and comfort, making it ideal for longer procedures. For example, the Polypropylene Isolation Gown is lightweight for general use, while the Impervious Plastic Film Gown and Standard Polyethylene Thumb Loop Isolation Gown, XL provide higher barrier protection. The Sterile Nonreinforced Eclipse Surgical Gown uses advanced SMS for comfort and barrier. With various materials available, users can select gowns tailored to the procedure’s risk level and wearer comfort.
