Built for Critical Care: The ICU’s AAMI Level 4 Barrier
In the Intensive Care Unit, you need absolute confidence in your PPE. The Medtecs IL-4036YKTP is a certified AAMI Level 4 isolation gown designed for the high-risk, high-fluid environment of critical care. It provides the highest level of fluid and viral protection in a balanced 36gsm design, ensuring you are protected without unnecessary bulk during long shifts.
AAMI Level 4: The Highest Standard for Fluid Barrier Protection
This gown passes the AAMI PB70 Level 4 standard, signifying it can withstand the most rigorous liquid and viral penetration challenges (ASTM F1670 & F1671). It is the definitive choice for handling high-risk patients and procedures with a high risk of fluid splashes.
- Passes ASTM F1670: Proven to resist synthetic blood penetration at high pressure.
- Passes ASTM F1671: Proven to resist bacteriophage (viral) penetration.
- Ideal Scenarios: High-risk ICU nursing, infectious disease wards, intubation, A-line placement.
Critical Protection: Fully Taped Seams
A gown is only as strong as its weakest point. Unlike Level 3 gowns, the IL-4036YKTP features heat-sealed and taped seams. This process 100% physically seals all potential micro-perforations from stitching, creating an impervious barrier and eliminating the risk of fluid or pathogen leakage.
36gsm PE-Coated Fabric: Balanced Protection & Mobility
This gown uses a 36gsm PP+PE (Polypropylene Coated with Polyethylene) fabric. The PE coating provides the 100% waterproof barrier, while the 36gsm weight offers robust durability against tears without the fatigue of heavier gowns, making it ideal for active, extended wear.
Designed for Function and Safety
- Knit Cuffs: Softly and snugly conform to the wrist for a 360-degree seal with gloves.
- Tie-Neck and Waist: Provides a secure, adjustable fit and full-back coverage.
- High-Visibility Yellow: Ensures quick identification of personnel in high-level PPE.
