Taped Seams: The Impervious Seal for Autopsy
As a pathologist or medical examiner, your work involves guaranteed, prolonged exposure to high volumes of blood and body fluids. In this environment, a standard gown’s seam is its greatest liability—a stitched seam will wick and leak fluid under pressure. The Medtecs IL-4063WKTP is an AAMI Level 4 gown that eliminates this risk. It is constructed with 100% heat-sealed taped seams, creating a continuous, impervious barrier. This is the protection you need for the extreme fluid challenges of an autopsy.
Combined with its AAMI L4 viral barrier (ASTM F1671) and 63gsm fabric, this gown provides the total protection your job demands.
Why Taped Seams are Non-Negotiable for Pathology
This gown is engineered from the seams up to be 100% fluid-proof, addressing the primary failure point of lesser gowns in your high-fluid environment.
A 100% Impervious Barrier
A stitched seam is a series of holes. An ultrasonic seam can fail under pressure. A *taped seam* is the only construction that is truly 100% impervious. A strip of impervious tape is heat-sealed over the seam, completely blocking any potential entry point for fluids. When you are leaning against a table or exposed to high-volume fluids, this is the only design you can trust.
AAMI Level 4 / ASTM F1671: Pathogen Protection
You face unknown pathogens daily. This gown is a certified AAMI Level 4 viral barrier, passing the ASTM F1671 test. This is your assurance that you are protected from blood-borne pathogens and other infectious agents.
Heavy-Duty 63gsm Fabric
The 63gsm fabric provides robust durability. It resists tears and punctures, ensuring your barrier remains intact throughout the entire procedure. It’s built to withstand the physical demands of the morgue.

Seam Integrity Comparison
| Seam Type | IL-4063WKTP (Taped) | Standard Gown (Ultrasonic/Stitched) |
|---|---|---|
| Barrier | 100% Impervious, Sealed | Porous or potential leak points |
| Failure Mode | None (continuous barrier) | Wicking, seepage, bursting under pressure |
| AAMI Level 4? | Yes | No (Cannot be L4 with stitched seams) |
| Use for Autopsy? | Ideal | High-Risk |
