Full Barrier Protection Against Dental Aerosols & Splatter
As a dental professional, you work in one of the highest-risk environments for aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs). Ultrasonic scalers, high-speed handpieces, and air-water syringes create a fine mist of splatter and aerosols. The Medtecs IL-0023BTU is an AAMI Level 3 PE Gown designed to provide a 100% waterproof barrier against this specific threat.
Standard patient bibs or low-level gowns simply don’t offer enough protection. This lightweight, impervious gown ensures your torso and arms are fully shielded.
100% PE: The Waterproof Advantage
This gown is not “fluid resistant”—it is fully waterproof. The 100% Polyethylene (PE) material acts like a rain-slicker, completely blocking moisture. Splatter and aerosols cannot soak through, keeping your scrubs underneath dry and safe from contamination.
Secure Sleeves: The Thumb Loop Solution
A gown is useless if it creates a gap at the wrist. This is the most common failure point in dental settings. The IL-0023BTU features integrated thumb loops to lock the sleeve in place.
- Prevents Sleeve Ride-Up: Keeps sleeves securely tucked inside your gloves.
- Total Forearm Protection: Ensures a continuous barrier from your glove to your gown, even when reaching.
- No More Taping: Stop wasting time and tape trying to secure your sleeves.
Designed for the Modern Dental Practice
This gown provides AAMI Level 3 protection while respecting the workflow of a busy dental office.
Lightweight & Fast to Don
At only 23gsm, this PE gown is lightweight and won’t weigh you down or cause excessive heat. The overhead, apron-style donning is fast, allowing for quick turnover between patients.
Cost-Effective Barrier
Provides a higher level of certified protection (AAMI Level 3) at a cost-effective price point, making it feasible to use for every AGP.
Why AAMI Level 3 for Dentistry?
AAMI Level 3 is the standard for procedures with a moderate risk of spray and splatter, which perfectly describes most dental work. It is specifically tested to resist fluid splashes under pressure.
