Difference between isolation gown and surgical gown

Disposable isolation gowns and disposable surgical gowns are commonly used medical protective products in hospitals, usually for clinical examination or surgical operations. In the case of contact with blood, body fluids or other infectious possibilities, it plays a two-way protection and isolation role between medical staff and patients.

Difference between isolation gown and surgical gown:

1. Different usage scenarios

Isolation gowns are mainly used for medical staff to avoid contact with infectious diseases transmitted by blood, body fluids and other infectious substances when they are in contact with patients. They may be splashed by the patient's blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions during diagnosis, treatment or care, so it is necessary to wear isolation gowns to prevent both medical staff and patients from being infected.

Surgical gowns play a two-way protection role during surgical operations. First, surgical gowns create a barrier between patients and medical staff to reduce the possibility of medical staff coming into contact with patient blood and other fluids as well as other potential sources of infection during surgery. Second, surgical gowns can block the spread of bacteria adhering to the skin or clothing surface of medical staff to surgical patients, effectively avoiding cross-infection of multi-medicine resistant bacteria.

2. Different way of putting on and taking off

When putting on or taking off medical isolation gown, pay attention to cleaning the surface to avoid contamination. Medical surgical gown pays more attention to aseptic operation. For the isolation gown,one person can put on or take off by himself, while for the surgical gown, an assistant is required to help putting on or taking off.

3. Different appearance

From the appearance, it is not easy to distinguish the surgical gown from the isolation gown, but they can be distinguished according to the belt. The belt of the isolation gown should be tied at the front for easy putting on and taking off, and the belt of the surgical gown should be tied at the back.
