A Gown as Tough as Your Day-to-Day Cases
As a veterinarian or vet tech, ”low-risk” is rarely in your vocabulary. Your work is unpredictable. You need a basic barrier that can handle animal fur, dander, and potential exposure to bodily fluids during exams, vaccinations, or minor procedures. You also need it to be durable enough not to rip if an animal is uncooperative. The Medtecs IL-2022YTU is the ideal disposable solution, offering a significant upgrade in durability and protection compared to basic PP gowns.
SMMS: Stronger Than Your Average Gown
This isn’t a flimsy ”paper” gown. It’s made from 22gsm, 4-layer SMMS. The spunbond layers provide strength and tear resistance, while the meltblown layers offer a fluid-resistant barrier that’s AAMI Level 1 certified. It’s designed to provide a basic barrier against splashes and sprays, whether it’s from wound irrigation, a dental cleaning, or an unexpected void.
Designed for Animal Handling
A gown that tears or rides up is worse than useless. The IL-2022YTU is built for active work.
- Durable Fabric: 22gsm SMMS is more robust and resistant to tearing and ‘fur-grabbing’ than 1-ply PP.
- Thumb Loops for Security: Keep your sleeves from riding up when you’re restraining a patient or performing a procedure. This maintains a clean barrier and prevents contamination of your scrubs.
- Disposable Hygiene: The most important feature. Use a fresh, clean gown for each patient to prevent the transfer of pathogens, ringworm, or other contaminants between animals.
The Workhorse Gown for Your Clinic
Stop overpaying for high-level medical gowns you don’t need, and stop compromising with cheap gowns that don’t protect. The IL-2022YTU is the perfect, cost-effective AAMI Level 1 solution for daily veterinary clinic use.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Vet Tasks:
- General wellness exams and vaccinations
- Client-facing consultations
- Phlebotomy and injections
