The Lightweight, Packable Gown for Home Visits
As a home healthcare nurse, your car is your office and your bag is your supply closet. You need PPE that is as mobile as you are. Bulky, heavy, or complex gowns are not an option. The Medtecs IL-2025YTU is the perfect AAMI Level 2 gown for home health: it’s lightweight, easy to pack, and fast to don in any environment.
The Problem: Bulky Supplies in Uncontrolled Environments
You don’t have a sterile hospital room. You’re working in a patient’s living room or bedroom. You need to carry all your supplies, and bulky gowns take up precious space. You need to be able to don your PPE quickly and correctly without a dedicated changing room.
The Solution: Lightweight, Compact, and Simple
This gown is designed for portability and speed. It’s built from 25gsm SMMS fabric, which is significantly lighter and less bulky than traditional gowns, making it easy to fit several in your bag.
- Lightweight & Compact: 25gsm SMMS fabric is thin but strong, folding down to a small size.
- Fast Over-the-Head Donning: The simple “poncho” style is the easiest and fastest gown to put on. You can don it in seconds, standing in a patient’s doorway if needed.
- AAMI Level 2 Protection: Provides a reliable, tested barrier against the splashes or fluid exposure you might encounter during wound care, bathing assistance, or line maintenance.
It’s the professional, compliant solution that fits your mobile workflow.
The Right Features for Home Healthcare
This gown delivers the protection you need with the convenience you demand.
Secure Sleeves with Thumb Loops
When you’re working alone in a home, you can’t have your sleeves sliding down. The integrated thumb loops anchor the sleeves under your gloves, so your wrists are protected, and you can focus on your patient.
Breathable for Patient Homes
Patient homes can be warm or stuffy. The breathable SMMS fabric lets your body heat escape, keeping you comfortable during your entire visit.
Ultrasonic Seams for Durability
This gown is durable. The ultrasonic seams are strong and won’t rip or tear when you’re reaching or lifting.
