The standards for surgical gowns are primarily established by organizations such as the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and ASTM International. These standards specify requirements for barrier protection, including fluid and microbial resistance, with gowns classified into levels (1-4) based on their performance. The gowns must also ensure comfort, strength, and be free from harmful substances to protect both patients and healthcare workers.
