What is the purpose of a hospital gown?

Medical gowns are part of an overall health care infection control strategy. Medical protective clothing is personal protective equipment that protects the wearer from infection or the spread of disease, creating a barrier against potentially infectious substances. Protective clothing can also prevent the wearer from spreading harmful microorganisms when in contact with vulnerable patients.

 

When should you wear medical clothes?

Robes should be worn during surgery and patient care activities when clothing and/or exposed skin is expected to come into contact with blood, body fluids, secretions, or excretions.
