AAMI Level 4 Isolation Gowns: ASTM F1671 Certified Viral Barrier Protection
Understanding AAMI Level 4 – The Non-Negotiable Standard for High-Risk Environments
Level 4 is the only standard that mandates passing the ASTM F1671 viral penetration test, making it the minimum requirement for high-consequence environments. Level 3 is insufficient for viral threats.
AAMI Level 4 vs Level 3: The Critical Difference is the Viral Barrier
Fluid Splash Protection
Viral Barrier Protection
Decoding ASTM F1671: The Rigorous Viral Penetration Test
The ASTM F1671 test uses the Phi-X174 bacteriophage (approx. 27nm) to simulate a virus under pressure. Our gowns (e.g., IL-4063WKTP) are constructed with high-integrity microporous fabric and taped seams, validated to pass this test.
SGS test reports available upon request to prove the highest level of biological protection.
ASTM F1670: Resisting High-Pressure Blood Splashes
Critical for ER and Trauma units. This test simulates the high-velocity splash of an arterial bleed. Passing this test means our Level 4 gowns can withstand sudden, high-volume exposure to blood and bodily fluids without penetration, directly mitigating the risk of occupational exposure.
Our AAMI Level 4 Solutions: Engineering, Material & Clinical Design
Every detail is engineered to eliminate failure points and ensure absolute barrier integrity during critical procedures.
100% Taped Seams
Heat-sealed tape over every single seam creates a 100% waterproof and virus-proof bond. Traditional stitched seams are full of holes – taped seams ensure seams are not a failure point.
Microporous Laminate
High-performance PPSB+PE film provides a proven, impervious barrier. Available in 63gsm (heavy-duty) and 36gsm (lightweight) with the same Level 4 viral barrier protection.
Secure Knit Cuffs
Soft, secure knit cuffs provide a comfortable 360-degree seal. They stay in place under gloves and during movement, eliminating dangerous exposure gaps at the wrist.
Critical Technology: Why Taped Seams are Essential
A gown is only as strong as its weakest point. Traditional stitched seams are full of holes, and ultrasonic seams can still fail under pressure.
Taped Seams are the gold standard for Level 4. This process applies a specialized, heat-sealed tape over every single seam, creating a 100% waterproof and virus-proof bond.
This technology ensures that seams are not a failure point, which is essential for passing ASTM F1671 and guaranteeing full-body protection against fluid ingress.

Material Analysis: 63gsm Heavy-Duty vs 36gsm Lightweight
IL-4063WKTP (63gsm, White) – Heavy-Duty Solution
Higher gram-weight provides superior durability, tear resistance, and is ideal for rigorous, high-abrasion tasks like decontamination and biohazard cleanup.
IL-4036YKTP (36gsm, Yellow) – Lightweight Solution
Provides the exact same Level 4 viral barrier but with enhanced comfort for long shifts in the ICU or ER.
Application Scenarios: Level 4 Gowns for Your Specific High-Risk Environment
The risks in an ICU are different from those in a decontamination zone. Our Level 4 solutions are purposefully designed to be the right tool for the job.
ICU/ER Nurses: For Unknown Risks and High Fluid Exposure
As the frontline, you face unknown pathogens and high-volume fluid exposure (trauma, intubation). You don’t have time to second-guess your PPE. Our Level 4 gowns (recommending the lightweight IL-4036YKTP) provide an immediate, absolute barrier. The ASTM F1671-rated fabric and taped seams mean you are protected from the moment you step in, allowing you to focus 100% on the patient, not on your PPE’s integrity.
Surgeons/OR Staff: Protecting the Sterile Field and the Team
While sterile surgical gowns are used in the field, Level 4 non-sterile gowns are critical for high-risk procedures (e.g., trauma, orthopedic) or for protecting staff during setup, cleaning, or when assisting. Their impervious barrier prevents patient-to-staff and staff-to-patient transmission of blood-borne pathogens, playing a vital role in preventing Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) and protecting the entire OR team from hazardous fluids.
Decontamination Staff: For Durability Against Chemical & Biological Hazards
Decontamination tasks involve prolonged exposure to the highest concentrations of biohazards and cleaning chemicals. This requires more than a barrier; it requires durability. Our heavy-duty 63gsm gown (IL-4063WKTP) is engineered for this. Its robust, tear-resistant microporous material and taped seams provide the most durable defense, ensuring integrity during rigorous cleaning and disinfection procedures.
Biosafety Lab Researchers: Containment in BSL-3/4 Environments
In BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs, barrier integrity is synonymous with containment and safety. Any breach is catastrophic. An AAMI Level 4 gown that is ASTM F1671 compliant is an essential component of your PPE ensemble (e.g., with PAPRs). The fully taped seams and verified viral barrier of our gowns ensure total protection, providing the necessary confidence and safety for working with high-consequence pathogens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gowns Sterile?
This series (IL-4036YKTP, IL-4063WKTP) is Non-Sterile. Their primary purpose is barrier protection for the wearer from external pathogens in high-risk (but not sterile) environments like the ICU, ER, or Decon. If your application requires a gown within a sterile field (e.g., in an OR) to prevent Surgical Site Infections, please refer to our separate Sterile Surgical Gown (SG) series, which are also available.
What is the correct Donning/Doffing procedure?
Correct procedure is as important as the gown itself. Doffing (removal) is the highest-risk moment for self-contamination. For a Level 4 gown, donning involves securing all ties and ensuring a good cuff-to-glove seal. Doffing must be done by rolling the gown ‘inside-out’ to contain contaminants, touching only the ‘clean’ inside. Always follow your facility’s infection control protocols or CDC guidelines. We can provide educational materials to support your staff training.
What is the shelf life and storage requirements?
Our Level 4 isolation gowns have a 3-year shelf life when stored properly. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep packaging intact until use to maintain product integrity. This extended shelf life makes our gowns ideal for strategic stockpile programs.
Can I get samples before bulk ordering?
Yes, we offer sample programs for qualified buyers including hospitals, healthcare facilities, and distributors. Contact our sales team to request product samples. Please provide your facility information and intended use case. We also offer on-site demonstrations for large healthcare systems.
