A Gown That Won’t Quit: The 63gsm Tear-Resistant ER Gown
In the trauma bay, “”flimsy”” is dangerous. When you’re moving fast, cutting away clothing, or dealing with a chaotic scene, your gown is the last thing you should have to worry about. A tear is a barrier failure and an exposure. The Medtecs IL-4063WKTP is your solution. It’s an AAMI Level 4 gown constructed from heavy-duty 63gsm fabric, specifically designed to be tear and puncture-resistant. It provides the imperviousness of AAMI L4 with the toughness of a heavy-duty garment.
This is the gown built for the speed and physical demands of the ER.
63gsm: The New Standard for ER Durability
This gown is built to solve your #1 problem: barrier failure from tearing. The 63gsm fabric provides a robust physical barrier you can feel.
Why 63gsm Matters in the ER
The robust 63gsm PPSB+PE material provides superior tear strength. This means it’s far less likely to:
- Snag on a gurney rail or IV pole.
- Tear when you are moving a patient.
- Puncture from equipment or sharps.
This durability ensures your barrier integrity is maintained from the moment the patient hits the door until they are stabilized.
Impervious Protection: Taped Seams & AAMI L4
This durability is paired with the highest level of fluid protection. As an AAMI Level 4 gown, it is proven to block high-pressure splashes of blood (ASTM F1670) and viruses (ASTM F1671). The seams are 100% heat-sealed and taped, so there are no weak points for fluid to penetrate.
Confidence in Chaos
This gown is designed to give you total confidence in your PPE, so you can focus on the patient.
Designed for the Trauma Bay
The IL-4063WKTP provides a complete barrier system for the most demanding environments.
Gown Durability Comparison
| Fabric Weight | IL-4063WKTP (63 g/m²) | Standard Gown (~30-40 g/m²) |
|---|---|---|
| Tear Resistance | High (Heavy-Duty) | Low (Prone to tearing) |
| Risk in ER | Low (Reliable barrier) | High (Risk of snag/tear failure) |
| Protection Level | AAMI Level 4 (Impervious) | Varies (Often L2/L3) |
| Seams | Fully Taped Seams | Stitched or Ultrasonic |
