An isolation gown helps protects front-line caregivers from fluid penetration and infectious droplets. It also helps to prevent microorganisms from being transmitted to those with weak immune systems.
Isolation gowns are used to protect the wearer from the transfer of microorganisms and body fluids in low or minimal risk patient isolation situations.
How to Put on and Remove an Isolation Gown?
The ease or difficulty with which a gown is put on and removed may affect its effectiveness and the potential for contamination, especially during the doffing of a contaminated gown.
Put on
- Select appropriate type and size
- The opening is in the back
- Secure at neck and waist
- If a gown is too small, use two gowns for better protection
- Put on the first gown with the opening in front and the second gown over the first with the opening in the back.
Take off
- Unfasten ties
- Peel gown away from neck and shoulder
- Turn contaminated outside toward the inside
- Fold or roll into a bundle (Only the “clean” part of the gown should be visible)
- Discard
