SURGICAL GOWN, HP, non-woven

Definition

A single use garment made of synthetic materials intended to be worn over a scrub suit to cover the arms, trunk, and upper legs, during a surgical procedure; it may be fluid resistant or impervious to fluids. Also known as an operating room (OR) gown, it is used during surgical procedures to help protect both the patient and operating room personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material.

Synonym

surgical smock

Specifications

critical product area: product area with a greater probability to be involved in the transfer of infective agents to or from the wound, e.g. front and sleeves of surgical gowns

Quality standards

EN 13795-1, 2019, Surgical clothing and drapes - Requirements and test methods - Part 1: Surgical drapes and gowns

Quality Standards Comment

EN 13795 test results (gown high performance)

  • EN 29073-3: Tensile strength - dry and wet: ≥ 20 Newton (amount in force applied to break the strip)
  • EN 13938-1: Burst strength - dry and wet: ≥ 40 kPa strength at burst
  • EN 20811: Resistance to fluid penetration: critical area / less critical area: ≥ 100/10 cm of water pressure on the fabric sample
  • EN ISO 11737: Cleanliness – microbial: ≤ 300 Number of colonies formed / dm²
  • ISO 9073-10: Cleanliness – particulate matter and Linting: Number of particles 3-25µm as an index for PM expressed as Log10: critical area / less critical area: ≤ 3.5 / ≤ 4.0
  • ISO 22612: Resistance to microbial penetration – dry: ≤ 300 CFU (number of colonies formed after incubation)
  • ISO 22610: Resistance to microbial penetration – wet: for the critical area: ≥ 6.0 Number of colonies formed after incubation, expressed in Barrier Index

Instructions for use

Disposable sterile gowns are intended for situations where sterilization is problematic. It is recommended to keep a small emergency stock in every hospital.

Single use linen is MSF standard for orthopedic surgical procedures.

Surgeries at high risk (= high performance level needed):

  • any procedure in which the surgeons hands are in a body cavity
  • orthopedic procedures during which tourniquets are not used
  • open cardiovascular or thoracic procedures
  • trauma procedures
  • C-sections

Precautions for Use

According to the quality standards, the back of the surgical gown may have a low liquid penetration barrier performance: can be ANSI/AAMI-Level 1 even though the whole gown is classified as ANSI/AAMI-Level 4 surgical gown. Therefore, using a surgical gown in isolation settings may not provide appropriate protection.
