The AAMI Level 4 Barrier for High-Containment Labs
As a researcher in a BSL-3 or BSL-4 environment, you work with high-titer, infectious agents where a barrier breach is a catastrophic event. You need absolute confidence in your PPE. The Medtecs IL-4063WKTP is an AAMI Level 4 gown specifically engineered for this high-containment setting. It is certified to pass ASTM F1671, the viral penetration test, and features impervious taped seams to ensure zero barrier penetration.
This 63gsm gown provides a robust, durable barrier, integrating seamlessly with your respirator and gloves for complete protection.
Engineered for Biosafety and Containment
This gown is designed to meet the stringent protocols of high-containment laboratories, providing a verifiable barrier against both biological and chemical hazards.
ASTM F1671: The Certified Viral Barrier
For BSL-3/4 work, this is the most critical standard. The IL-4063WKTP is proven to resist penetration by the Phi-X174 bacteriophage, a standard test for viral barrier integrity. This confirms the fabric and seams are effective at blocking microbial agents, providing a critical layer of your lab’s safety protocol.
ASTM F739-12: Resistance to Lab Chemicals
Your work involves not just biologicals, but also chemical reagents, fixatives, or decontamination solutions. This gown is also compliant with ASTM F739-12 for liquid permeation, offering a dual-protection barrier against a range of hazards commonly found in the lab.
Impervious Taped Seams: No Entry Points
In a high-containment lab, an invisible micro-perforation is a major risk. Our heat-sealed taped seams completely eliminate the stitch holes found in lesser gowns. This creates a solid, impervious garment, ensuring that no aerosolized or liquid-based pathogens can find an entry point.
Heavy-Duty 63gsm Durability
The robust 63gsm fabric resists tears and punctures, a critical feature when working within biosafety cabinets or with complex equipment. It provides a durable barrier that won’t fail during critical procedures.
