Built for the Frontline: Rapid, Reliable AAMI Level 3 Protection
In the Emergency Room, every second counts. You don’t have time for PPE that slows you down, fails under pressure, or creates new risks. The Medtecs IL-0023BTU is an AAMI Level 3 isolation gown engineered specifically for high-pace, moderate-fluid scenarios like trauma intake. It combines 100% waterproof PE protection with smart design features that work with you, not against you.
We know the frustrations: gowns that are confusing to tie, and sleeves that ride up your forearm when gloving. This gown solves those problems.
The Critical Gown-to-Glove Seal: Solving Sleeve Ride-Up
Your biggest infection control risk is a barrier breach. A common failure point is the gap between the cuff and glove, created when sleeves ride up during a high-stakes procedure. The IL-0023BTU eliminates this pain point entirely.
- Integrated Thumb Loops: Locks the sleeve comfortably and securely in place under your glove.
- No More Gaps: Ensures a 360-degree, uninterrupted barrier against splashes and spray.
- Faster, Confident Gloving: Allows you to glove up quickly with confidence, knowing your wrists are covered, even in high-stress situations.
Fast On, Safe Off: The Overhead & Open-Back Design
This gown is built for speed. The “apron-style” overhead donning allows you to put it on in one swift motion—no complex ties or confusing orientations. The open-back provides essential ventilation during long, active shifts and, most critically, allows for safer doffing. You can tear it away from the front, minimizing self-contamination, which is vital after treating an unknown-risk patient.
Why AAMI Level 3? The Right Barrier for Moderate Risk
Not all ER procedures need the cumbersome bulk of a Level 4 gown, and Level 2 simply doesn’t offer enough protection for the unpredictable nature of the ER. This gown hits the sweet spot.
100% Waterproof PE vs. “Fluid Resistant” SMMS
This is not a standard “fluid-resistant” SMMS gown, which can fail under direct spray. The IL-0023BTU is made from 100% Polyethylene (PE) film. This 23gsm material is lightweight but acts as a complete waterproof barrier, blocking fluid penetration entirely. It is certified to meet the AAMI Level 3 standard, protecting you from sprays and splashes.
Ideal Use Cases in the ER and ICU:
- Trauma patient intake and assessment
- Arterial blood draws (ABG)
- Suturing complex lacerations
- ICU tasks with moderate fluid exposure (e.g., suctioning)
