Patient Gown

Disposable patient gowns typically consist of polypropylene spunbond or polypropylene spunbond-meltblown-spunbond (sms), both of which are three-layer non-woven textiles. Cotton muslin and other tight weaves coated with fluid-repellent chemicals have long been the standard for reusable surgical gowns. Fabrics with a spunbond construction are made by forcing molten polymer through a spinneret to create long, thin filaments. When creating meltblown nonwovens, a spun-melt method is used, similar to that used when creating spunbond fibers. After filaments are extruded from the spinneret, however, a separate process takes place in which the fibers are instantly exposed to hot air streams moving at high speeds from both sides of the spinneret. Non-woven synthetic cloth is often used for disposable coveralls. Different materials will be fused together to boost strength, lower permeability, and perhaps even provide flame resistance as protection levels grow.

Measures one size fits most, measuring 36 inches in length from the shoulder. The flat front chest measurement is 23.25 inches, the bottom hem sweep is 23.5 inches, and the length from shoulder to hem is 47.5 inches. Convenient those with limited dexterity or who have problems reaching and tying hospital gown straps may appreciate the convenience of snaps for fastening the back of the garment. In addition, a user may easily access breast-feeding facilities, iv lines, and other diagnostic equipment thanks to the hospital gown's open back and shoulder design. The hospital gown is constructed from a soft yet sturdy polyester cotton blend fabric, and it can be washed in the washing machine. The relaxed, roomy shape of the raglan sleeves and the lack of gathers or bunching make them ideal for active wear.
