AAMI Level 3 Barrier for Dental Hygienists
As a dental hygienist, you spend your day working directly in the line of fire for aerosols and splatter. Ultrasonic scalers and air polishers create a high-velocity mist that can easily soak through standard gowns. The Medtecs IL-0023BTU is an AAMI Level 3 PE Gown designed specifically to combat this, providing a 100% waterproof barrier with features to keep you secure.
This lightweight gown provides full torso and arm protection, ensuring that contaminated water and saliva never reach your scrubs or skin.
The Ultimate Defense Against Aerosols and Splatter
This gown is made from 100% Polyethylene film, not “fluid-resistant” SMMS. This means it is completely waterproof. Aerosols and splatter will bead up and roll off, not soak in. The AAMI Level 3 rating certifies it can withstand spray under moderate pressure, which is exactly what an ultrasonic scaler produces.
Thumb Loops: A Hygienist’s Best Friend
How often do you glove up, only to have your sleeve immediately pull back, exposing your wrist? The IL-0023BTU’s integrated thumb loops are the perfect solution.
- Locks the Sleeve: The loop hooks over your thumb, anchoring the sleeve under your glove.
- No More Gaps: Creates a seamless, secure barrier from your glove to your gown.
- Full Forearm Protection: Allows you to work confidently, knowing your arms are fully protected.
Designed for a Busy Dental Workflow
This gown delivers maximum protection without slowing you down.
Lightweight & Fast Donning
The 23gsm material is lightweight, so it won’t weigh you down or cause overheating. The overhead “apron” style is fast to put on, perfect for the quick turnover between patients.
Full Coverage
The gown provides ample coverage for your front and arms, the areas most exposed to splatter.
Hygienic and Professional
A fresh, disposable gown for each aerosol-generating procedure is the highest standard of care, showing your patients you take their safety (and your own) seriously.
