The Dual-Purpose Gown: Protect Your Research, Protect Yourself
In a non-clinical research lab, your gown has two jobs. It must protect *you* from reagents and splashes (AAMI Level 2), and it must protect your *research* from you (particulates and lint). The Medtecs IL-2025YTU is a non-sterile gown engineered to do both, with its low-linting SMMS fabric and advanced ultrasonic seams.
The Problem: Gowns That Contaminate
Your work is sensitive. Standard-issue gowns, especially those with stitched seams, are a source of contamination. They shed fibers (lint) with every movement, which can compromise your samples. You need a cleaner barrier solution.
The Solution: A Cleaner Barrier by Design
This gown is an excellent choice for a research environment because of its “clean” construction. The 4-ply SMMS fabric is a low-linting polymer, and the seams are ultrasonically bonded, not sewn.
- Ultrasonic Seams: This is the key. By bonding the fabric without needles or thread, we eliminate two major sources of contamination: needle holes and thread lint. This creates a cleaner, more reliable barrier.
- Low-Linting SMMS Fabric: The 100% SMMS material is a nonwoven fabric that sheds far fewer particles than other materials, helping to protect your sensitive work.
- AAMI Level 2 Splash Protection: It’s also a certified AAMI Level 2 gown (AATCC 42 & 127), so it provides a reliable barrier to protect you from reagent splashes.
This is the gown that respects your research environment.
A Gown Built for the Lab Bench
This gown’s features are designed to enhance your workflow and safety at the bench.
Thumb Loops for Secure Sleeves
When you’re pipetting or working in a hood, you can’t have your sleeves sliding. The thumb loops anchor the sleeves under your gloves for a secure, gap-free fit.
Breathable 25gsm Fabric
Lab work requires focus. The 25gsm SMMS fabric is lightweight and breathable, helping you stay cool and comfortable so you can concentrate on your data.
Durable and Reliable
The 4-ply construction is durable and resists tears, providing reliable protection you can count on.
