Medical clothing

At Tous Ergo, we offer medical protective supplies to outfit your workplace, including gloves, masks, disposable coveralls, and the products in this category: medical clothing. A disposable medical gown helps limit how far particles spread onto the clothes a healthcare worker is wearing, and also helps protect against splashes during a procedure. Along the same lines, we also offer shoe covers, protective clothing, and safety glasses. To finish your kit, we offer exam gloves. You can also take a look at our mask range, as rich in color as it is in material. Priced fairly by Tous Ergo.

How do you put on a disposable isolation gown?

To put on a disposable gown, you should:

1. Open the gown and unfold it completely.
2. Put your arms through the sleeves.
3. Close the gown by buttoning it or fastening it with hook-and-loop.
4. Check that the gown is in place and covers your whole body.

Follow the instructions for use and the safety guidance so you get proper protection.

Single-use gowns are often worn by healthcare workers for medical procedures such as vaccinations and exams. They are made from disposable materials, which makes them practical, since they are easy to throw away after use.

Disposable protective clothing is made to protect healthcare workers from pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Disposable clothing includes disposable gowns, disposable coveralls, disposable isolation gowns, shoe covers and boot covers, gloves and masks, and full-body suits for situations that call for extra protection.

Why do nurses and doctors wear white?

Nurses and doctors wear white for several reasons:

• Hygiene: white is seen as a clean color that is easy to wash, which matters in a medical setting to help stop germs and infections from spreading.
• Professionalism: white can suggest cleanliness, skill, and authority, which is what people look for in healthcare workers.
• Visibility: white stands out, so healthcare workers are easy to recognize in a medical setting.
• Tradition: white uniforms have been used in medicine for a long time and have become a symbol of healthcare.

In short, nurses and doctors wear white for hygiene, professionalism, visibility, and tradition in healthcare.

What does a disposable protective gown do?

Disposable gowns are medical clothing made for a single use. They are used mainly in medical settings to protect healthcare workers and patients from the spread of bacteria and viruses. Disposable gowns may be paper or nonwoven, and they are meant to be thrown away after one use. They help keep the setting clean and sterile by blocking cross-contamination. Disposable gowns are also used so personal clothes stay clean when you work with chemicals or hazardous substances.

What is the best material for medical clothing? (gown, coverall, shirt...)

The best material for medical clothing, such as single-use gowns, depends on what you need: breathability, puncture resistance, flame resistance, durability, the ability to help block bacteria and viruses, and more. Materials commonly used for medical clothing include polypropylene, viscose, polyester, nylon, and cotton. Some synthetic fibers, such as polypropylene, are often chosen because they repel fluids and help block germs, while cotton is often chosen for comfort and breathability.

What quality standards apply to medical clothing?

Quality standards for medical clothing (single-use gowns, disposable coveralls, lab coats...) vary by country and by the intended use. A few widely recognized international standards include:

• EN 13795 standard for clothing used in healthcare
• AAMI PB70 standard for medical protective barriers
• ASTM F1670 standard for resistance to isolation liquids
• ASTM F1671 standard for resistance to pathogenic fluids

These standards set criteria such as protective performance, durability, puncture resistance, flame resistance, breathability, and more. Choose medical clothing that meets these standards so healthcare workers and patients get solid protection.
