Mitigate Risk & Protect Staff with a Verifiable L4 Gown
As a hospital risk manager, your job is to reduce staff exposure, minimize liability, and prevent workers’ compensation claims. Staff exposures to blood-borne pathogens are a significant and costly risk. The Medtecs IL-4063WKTP is an AAMI Level 4 gown engineered to be a frontline risk mitigation tool. It combines a 510(k) compliant viral barrier with heavy-duty, tear-resistant 63gsm fabric and impervious taped seams. This gown is designed to *not fail*.
By providing a verifiable, durable, and impervious barrier in high-risk areas, you are making a direct investment in staff safety and reducing your hospital’s liability.
An Engineered Solution to Reduce Exposure Events
This gown is designed to address the most common points of PPE failure: tearing, seam leakage, and non-compliance.
Reducing Risk 1: 63gsm Heavy-Duty, Tear-Resistant Fabric
A primary source of staff exposure is gown failure. A nurse tears a flimsy gown while turning a patient and is exposed. The 63gsm heavy-duty fabric of the IL-4063WKTP provides superior tear and puncture resistance. This significantly reduces the risk of accidental barrier breaches, directly lowering staff exposure incidents.
Reducing Risk 2: Impervious Taped Seams
The second major failure point is seam leakage. A standard gown’s seams can wick fluids, leading to a “slow-burn” exposure. Our heat-sealed taped seams are 100% impervious, eliminating this risk. Staff are protected from both sudden splashes and prolonged contact with fluids.
Reducing Risk 3: FDA 510(k) & ASTM F1671 Compliance
From a liability standpoint, compliance is key. This gown is FDA 510(k) compliant and certified to pass ASTM F1671 (viral barrier). This provides you with a verifiable, legally-marketed solution. In the event of an exposure, you have the documentation to prove you provided the correct, compliant standard of care.

Risk Mitigation Comparison
| Risk Factor | IL-4063WKTP (63gsm L4) | Standard L4 Gown (~35-40gsm) |
|---|---|---|
| Risk of Tearing (Exposure) | Low (Heavy-Duty Fabric) | High (Flimsy fabric) |
| Risk of Seam Leak (Exposure) | Zero (Taped Seams) | Low (If ultrasonic, but still a risk) |
| Risk of Non-Compliance (Liability) | Zero (FDA 510k Compliant) | Possible (If 510k is missing) |
| Overall Risk Profile | Mitigated | Moderate |
