Protect Your Research and Yourself
As a lab researcher, your protection needs are twofold: you must protect yourself from low-risk splashes and contaminants, and you must protect your samples from *yourself*. A standard cloth lab coat is often not enough, and high-level gowns are in short supply. The Medtecs IL-2022YTU is the ideal disposable solution for low-risk lab environments. Its 4-layer SMMS fabric provides both an AAMI Level 1 fluid barrier and a superior particle barrier, making it a major upgrade from basic PP gowns.
Why 4-Layer SMMS is Better for Labs
The ‘Meltblown’ layers in SMMS fabric are the key. They create a nonwoven, low-linting barrier with finer filtration properties than simple spunbond (PP). This means the 22gsm fabric is not only resistant to light splashes (AAMI Level 1, AATCC 42) but also more effective at containing and blocking particles, fibers, and dust. This is critical for PCR, cell culture, or any sensitive sample handling.
Designed for Precision and Safety
A poorly fitting gown can be a vector for contamination. The IL-2022YTU is designed for a secure, non-intrusive fit.
- Secure Thumb Loops: A critical feature for lab work. Thumb loops anchor the sleeves, creating a seamless, gap-free interface with your gloves. This prevents sleeve ride-up when you’re working in a hood, handling pipettes, or reaching for equipment.
- Overhead & Waist Tie Design: Easy to put on and remove without contaminating your inner clothing.
- Lightweight & Breathable: Stay comfortable and focused during long experiments.
The Smart, Disposable Gown for Your Lab
This non-sterile gown is the perfect, cost-effective choice for daily, low-risk lab activities. It ensures a fresh, clean barrier for every experiment, eliminating the cross-contamination risk of reusable lab coats.
Ideal Lab Applications:
- General specimen handling (blood, urine) with low splash risk
- PCR and molecular biology setup
- Cell culture and media prep (in a hood)
- Pharmaceutical compounding (non-sterile)
- General research and university labs
