AAMI Level 3 Waterproof Barrier for Lab Safety
As a lab researcher or technician, your primary concern is maintaining a secure barrier between you and the specimens you handle. Whether it’s biohazards, chemicals, or patient samples, the risk of a splash is always present. The Medtecs IL-0023BTU is a 100% waterproof PE gown that provides reliable AAMI Level 3 protection for your lab environment.
Unlike a standard cotton or polyester lab coat, which is absorbent and can hold contamination, this disposable gown is impervious to fluids, ensuring nothing seeps through to your skin or clothing.
Secure Your Wrists: The Thumb Loop Advantage
A critical failure point in any lab is the gap between your sleeve and glove. Reaching, pipetting, or moving samples can cause sleeves to ride up, exposing your forearm. The IL-0023BTU’s integrated thumb loops are a simple, effective solution.
- Anchors the Sleeve: The loop hooks over your thumb, keeping the sleeve securely inside your glove.
- Prevents Forearm Contamination: Ensures a continuous, gap-free barrier during all your tasks.
- Work with Confidence: Allows you to focus on your work without constantly readjusting your sleeves.
Why 100% PE for Your Lab?
The 100% Polyethylene material is lightweight (23gsm) but durable. It offers a smooth, non-porous surface that resists a wide range of fluids and chemicals, providing a more reliable barrier than traditional porous lab coats.
Designed for the Laboratory Workflow
This gown is built to enhance safety and efficiency in a research or clinical lab setting.
AAMI Level 3 Certified Protection
This gown is certified to meet AAMI Level 3 standards, meaning it is tested to resist splashes and spray under moderate pressure. This is the appropriate level for handling specimens with a moderate risk of splash.
Disposable Design: The Gold Standard for Safety
Prevent cross-contamination between experiments or patient samples. A disposable, single-use gown is the gold standard for BSL-2 and other high-stakes lab environments. Simply doff and dispose after use.
Fast Donning and Doffing
The overhead, apron-style design is quick to put on. The tear-away nature allows for safer doffing, minimizing contact with the contaminated exterior of the gown.
