Simple, Safe, and Easy Protection for Visitors
When a visitor enters an isolation room, their primary need is safety and simplicity. They are often stressed and unfamiliar with PPE. They need a gown that is easy to put on, provides the required protection, and is comfortable for their visit. The Medtecs IL-2022YTU is the perfect AAMI Level 1 solution for visitor use. Its intuitive design ensures compliance and provides peace of mind for both the visitor and your staff.
Designed for Simplicity: The Overhead Design
Forget confusing neck and waist ties that visitors struggle with. The IL-2022YTU features a simple, non-intimidating overhead (pullover) design. It slips on like a poncho, and a single waist tie secures the back. This user-friendly approach means visitors can gown up correctly with minimal instruction, reducing the burden on your nursing staff.
Key Features for Visitor Compliance
This gown is designed to be ‘visitor-proof’ and effective.
- AAMI Level 1 Protection: Provides the certified barrier required for basic isolation and visitor precautions against minimal fluid contact.
- Lightweight 22gsm SMMS: This isn’t a hot, heavy ‘plastic’ gown. The 4-layer SMMS fabric is soft and breathable, so visitors won’t feel uncomfortable or overheated.
- Bright Yellow Color: High-visibility yellow makes it easy for staff to see at a glance that visitors are gowned and compliant.
- Thumb Loops: An added bonus. They help keep sleeves in place, offering a more complete barrier, especially if visitors are interacting with the patient.
The Ideal Gown for Your Visitor PPE Station
This gown is a reliable, compliant, and cost-effective choice for stocking your isolation carts and visitor PPE stations. It provides a significant step up in comfort and real protection (AAMI Level 1) compared to old-style, non-rated PP gowns.
Why It’s the Right Choice for Visitors:
This gown balances ease-of-use with certified protection, making it ideal for:
- Family members in basic contact or droplet precaution rooms
- Chaplains, social workers, and other non-clinical visitors
- Basic patient transport scenarios
