Tired of Sweating Through Your Shift? Comfort Meets Compliance.
As a general ward nurse, your day is a marathon. You need PPE that can keep up without weighing you down or causing you to overheat. The Medtecs IL-2025YTU is an AAMI Level 2 gown designed specifically for those long shifts, prioritizing breathability so you can focus on your patients, not your discomfort.
The Problem: “Plastic Bag” PPE
Many fluid-resistant gowns use heavy, non-breathable materials like PE, making you feel like you’re wearing a plastic bag. This leads to excessive sweating, discomfort, and fatigue, which can distract you from your critical tasks. Your comfort is a key part of patient safety.
The Solution: 25gsm 4-Ply SMMS Fabric
This gown is constructed from a 25gsm, 4-ply SMMS (Spunbond-Meltblown-Meltblown-Spunbond) material. This advanced nonwoven fabric is the perfect balance of protection and comfort.
- Meltblown Layers: Provide the AAMI Level 2 fluid-resistant barrier, protecting you from splashes.
- Spunbond Layers: Offer a soft, cloth-like feel against your skin and provide durability.
- Breathability: Unlike PE, SMMS allows heat and moisture vapor to escape, keeping you significantly cooler and drier.
This is the ideal gown for standard precautions, patient transport, and daily tasks that require reliable AAMI Level 2 protection without the sauna effect.
Designed for the Realities of Ward Work
We know your job is more than just comfort; it’s about efficient and safe practice. The IL-2025YTU is packed with features that clinical staff, like you, have asked for.
Why SMMS is a Superior Choice for Wards
The 4-ply 100% SMMS fabric provides a reliable barrier against particulates and fluids, meeting the AATCC 42 & 127 test standards for AAMI Level 2. It’s a significant step up from basic PP gowns.
Secure Sleeves with Thumb Loops
A simple elastic cuff isn’t enough. This gown includes integrated thumb loops, which anchor the sleeve and prevent the common, annoying problem of sleeve ride-up when you reach or don gloves.
Ultrasonic Seams for Barrier Integrity
Instead of weaker, stitched seams that can have needle holes, the IL-2025YTU uses ultrasonic seams. This technology bonds the fabric together, creating a cleaner, stronger, and more impervious barrier.
