All-Day Comfort for All-Day Care
In a long-term care setting, your work is hands-on and non-stop. Your PPE needs to be comfortable enough for all-day wear and simple enough to use correctly every time. Heavy, stiff, or hot gowns just get in the way. The Medtecs IL-2025YTU is an AAMI Level 2 gown that prioritizes comfort and ease of use, making it the perfect choice for resident care.
The Problem: PPE That Gets in the Way
Your job involves assisting residents, which requires a full range of motion. You can’t be restricted by bulky PPE. The biggest complaints are gowns that are too hot (causing fatigue) and sleeves that constantly slip up your arms, forcing you to stop and readjust.
The Solution: Lightweight, Breathable, and Secure
This gown is designed to be worn for extended periods without becoming a burden. It combines three essential features for LTC staff.
- Lightweight & Breathable: The 25gsm SMMS fabric is soft and allows air to circulate, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout your shift.
- Easy Over-the-Head Design: Simple, intuitive, and fast to put on. No complex ties or snaps, just over the head and tie at the waist.
- Thumb Loops: This simple feature is a game-changer. It anchors the sleeves, so they never ride up when you are lifting, reaching, or assisting a resident.
This is the gown that protects you without adding to your workload.
The Right Protection for Resident Care
The IL-2025YTU provides the appropriate level of protection for the risks you face daily in a nursing home or assisted living facility.
AAMI Level 2 Protection
This gown provides a reliable barrier against splashes (AAMI Level 2 compliant), giving you the confidence you need when dealing with fluids during patient bathing, cleaning, or medical assistance.
Durable SMMS Fabric
The 4-ply SMMS material is stronger than basic PP gowns, resisting rips and tears that can happen during patient handling and transfers.
A Focus on Staff Safety
By preventing sleeve ride-up, the thumb loops and secure glove seal are a critical part of your facility’s infection control protocol, protecting you and your residents.
