Wrist style—elastic, thumb loop, or thumbhooks—affects sleeve security and comfort in surgical gowns. Elastic wrists provide a snug fit to prevent sleeve movement, while thumb loops and thumbhooks keep sleeves in place when donning gloves, reducing the risk of skin exposure. The Standard Polyethylene Thumb Loop Isolation Gown, XL and Impervious Plastic Film Gown use thumb loops/thumbhooks for added security, which is especially useful during procedures involving frequent glove changes. The AAMI Level 2 Isolation Gown offers both elastic and thumb loop wrists. This range allows users to select the wrist style that best suits their tasks and comfort needs.
