Built for Critical Care: The AAMI Level 4 Maximum Barrier
In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), there is no room for compromise. As an ICU nurse, you face the highest levels of risk, from aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) like intubation to direct exposure to blood-borne pathogens and unknown infectious diseases. The Medtecs IL-4063WKTP is an AAMI Level 4 isolation gown engineered specifically for these extreme conditions. It provides an impervious barrier you can trust, built with heavy-duty 63gsm fabric and 100% heat-sealed taped seams.
This gown is not just PPE; it is your frontline defense, providing 360-degree protection so you can focus on your patient.
AAMI Level 4: Your Assurance of Impervious Protection
The IL-4063WKTP is certified to the highest standard of AAMI PB70, ensuring it provides a barrier against the most critical threats in healthcare. This gown is designed to withstand high-pressure, high-volume fluid strikes and viral threats, meeting all regulatory requirements for high-risk gowns.
ASTM F1671: The Viral Barrier Standard
A “”fluid-proof”” gown is not enough in the ICU. You need a *viral* barrier. The IL-4063WKTP passes the rigorous ASTM F1671 test, which uses a bacteriophage (a virus) to prove that the fabric and seams can block microbial and viral penetration. This is your scientifically-backed assurance against pathogens like COVID-19, Ebola, and other hemorrhagic fevers.
Critical Protection: 100% Impervious Taped Seams
A gown is only as strong as its weakest point. While standard gowns may use stitched or ultrasonic seams (which can fail under pressure or have micro-perforations), the IL-4063WKTP features heat-sealed taped seams. This technology completely seals the seam, making it as impervious as the fabric itself. When you are managing high-volume fluids, you can be confident that there are absolutely no entry points for pathogens.
Heavy-Duty 63gsm Fabric: Durability for Demanding Shifts
Standard isolation gowns (often 30-40gsm) can tear during strenuous tasks like turning a patient or working with complex equipment. The IL-4063WKTP is constructed from a robust 63gsm PPSB+PE (50% PP / 50% PE) material. This heavy-duty fabric provides superior tear and puncture resistance, ensuring your barrier integrity remains intact throughout your entire shift, no matter how physically demanding.
Verified Compliance for High-Risk Applications
This gown is engineered to meet multiple critical standards, verifying its suitability for the most hazardous environments.
- AAMI Level 4: The highest level of liquid barrier protection.
- ASTM F1671 (Viral Barrier): Certified to resist bacteriophage (viral) penetration.
- ASTM F1670 (Blood Barrier): Proven to resist synthetic blood penetration at high pressure.
- ASTM F739-12 (Chemo): Tested for resistance to liquid permeation.
- FDA 510(k) Compliant: Meets all US FDA regulatory requirements for a non-sterile AAMI Level 4 claim.
