Cost-Effective AAMI Level 3 Compliance at Scale
As a purchasing manager, you are balancing a critical equation: providing your clinical staff with compliant, safe PPE while managing a strained budget. Over-speccing with AAMI Level 4 gowns for all procedures is financially unsustainable, while using Level 2 gowns in moderate-risk areas is a compliance and safety liability. The Medtecs IL-0023BTU is your solution: a cost-effective AAMI Level 3 gown designed for bulk deployment.
This gown delivers the moderate-risk protection your facility needs without the high cost of premium-tier gowns, all while including value-added features that reduce risk.
The Value of Thumb Loops: Reducing Risk Without Added Cost
You are not just buying a gown; you are buying risk reduction. Gowns with standard knit cuffs often ride up, exposing skin. This can lead to contamination events, which are far more costly than the price of a gown. The IL-0023BTU includes integrated thumb loops—a high-value feature that directly mitigates this common risk, ensuring a secure seal with gloves.
- Reduce Liability: Proactively address a known infection control failure point.
- Maximize Value: Provide a premium safety feature at a competitive, Level 3 price point.
- Standardize Supply: A single, versatile gown that satisfies Infection Control and clinical staff.
AAMI Level 3: The Right-Sized Protection for Your Budget
Don’t pay for Level 4 protection when Level 3 is the required standard for most non-surgical, high-fluid tasks. The 100% PE material provides a fully waterproof barrier, meeting AAMI Level 3 standards. This is the ideal gown for stocking your ER, ICU, and general wards for procedures like arterial blood draws, suctioning, and high-splash risk care.
Streamline Your Inventory: A Versatile L3 Solution
Stop managing multiple SKUs for similar risk levels. The IL-0023BTU’s combination of Level 3 protection, waterproof material, and thumb loops makes it a versatile “workhorse” gown. This allows you to consolidate your purchasing to a single, reliable product for all moderate-risk departments, simplifying your supply chain and inventory management.
