The Lightweight, Packable Gown for Home Visits
As a home healthcare nurse, your car is your office and your medical bag is your supply closet. You need PPE that is not only effective but also lightweight, compact, and easy to carry. The Medtecs IL-2022YTU is the perfect AAMI Level 1 isolation gown for your mobile practice. It’s lightweight, folds down small, and is single-use—the gold standard for preventing cross-contamination between homes.
Stop Carrying Contaminants Between Homes
The cardinal rule of home health is to not bring germs from one patient’s home to the next. A reusable cloth gown is a major vector for contamination. The IL-2022YTU is a single-use, disposable gown. You use a fresh, clean gown for every visit and dispose of it properly before you leave, ensuring you are always presenting a hygienic, professional standard of care.
Designed for the ‘On-the-Go’ Clinician
This gown is built for your ‘go-bag.’
