Lightweight PE Barrier for Controlled Environments
In pharmaceutical quality control and manufacturing, your primary goals are protecting the product from human-borne contamination and protecting yourself from the product. The Medtecs IL-0023BTU is an ideal gown for non-sterile controlled environments, made from lightweight 23gsm, 100% PE material.
This gown provides a reliable fluid and particulate barrier without the shedding or lint associated with cloth or SMMS materials. Its smooth surface is easy to wipe down and does not harbor particulates, making it an excellent choice for QC labs and clean manufacturing areas.
100% PE: A Non-Shedding, Waterproof Material
Unlike standard gowns, the 100% Polyethylene film is a non-woven, non-shedding material. This is critical for preventing contamination of your samples or production line. It is also fully waterproof, providing protection against spills of buffers, reagents, or other non-hazardous fluids.
Thumb Loops: Securing the Glove Interface
A secure interface between your gown and gloves is essential for sterile or clean technique. The IL-0023BTU’s integrated thumb loops ensure the sleeve stays firmly in place, preventing any part of the wrist or arm from being exposed.
- Maintains a Clean Barrier: Prevents skin from being exposed and shedding particles.
- Secures Sleeves: Keeps sleeves tucked into gloves, even when reaching or handling equipment.
- Improves Technique: Allows for confident, secure movement.
Designed for QC and Biotech Workflows
This gown is an economical and effective choice for daily use in controlled environments.
AAMI Level 3 Certified
While your primary concern might be particulate control, the AAMI Level 3 certification provides third-party validation of the material’s barrier integrity against fluids and splashes.
Fast Donning & Disposable
The overhead, apron-style design is fast to put on. As a disposable gown, it eliminates the need for complex laundering protocols and removes the risk of cross-contamination carried by reusable garments.
Lightweight 23gsm Material
The 23gsm fabric is extremely lightweight, providing comfort for staff during their entire shift without the bulk of heavier coated gowns.
