Comfortable, Disposable Coverage for Patients
When a patient needs temporary, disposable coverage for transport or basic isolation, their primary concerns are comfort and dignity. A heavy, ‘plasticky’ or ill-fitting gown can be uncomfortable and stressful. The Medtecs IL-2022YTU, while an AAMI Level 1 gown, also serves as an excellent, lightweight patient coverall. It’s soft, easy to put on, and provides a clean, single-use barrier.
Soft, Breathable SMMS Fabric
Unlike standard gowns, this one is made from 22gsm, 4-layer SMMS. This material is significantly softer and more ‘fabric-like’ than other disposables. It’s non-restrictive and breathable, making it much more comfortable for a patient to wear over their clothes or a standard patient gown.
Simple and User-Friendly
The design is intuitive and non-intimidating for patients.
- Overhead Design: Slips on easily like a poncho, which is simple for patients or staff to assist with.
- Lightweight: The 22gsm fabric is not bulky or heavy, adding to patient comfort.
- Waist Tie: A simple tie ensures the gown stays in place during transport.
A Versatile Gown for Your Facility
This AAMI Level 1 gown is a versatile addition to your supply. While its primary use is for staff, its comfort and ease of use make it an ideal ‘step-up’ solution for basic patient coverage when a standard woven gown is not appropriate.
Ideal Patient Use-Cases:
- Patient transport between units or facilities.
- As a disposable coverall for patients in basic isolation.
- For patient use during certain low-risk procedures where their clothes need covering.
