Level 3 surgical gowns (also known as AAMI Level 3 surgical gowns) are a specific level of medical surgical gowns, mainly used to provide moderate liquid protection. The following is a detailed introduction to Level 3 surgical gowns
1. Main features
Liquid protection performance: Level 3 surgical gowns are designed for moderate liquid exposure environments and can effectively resist the risk of moderate liquid splashes, sprays and sputtering during surgery. Compared with Level 1 and Level 2 surgical gowns, it provides higher liquid protection.
Material: Level 3 surgical gowns are usually made of high-quality non-woven materials, such as PP/SMS/SMMS/PP+PE, etc. These materials have good breathability and comfort, and have certain antibacterial properties.
Production process: Surgical gowns are carefully designed and made to ensure that they can fit closely to the body during use and provide effective protection. The production process may include sewing or ultrasonic stitching, knitted cuffs or elastic cuffs, neck ties, Velcro and waist ties and other details.
Disinfection: Level 3 surgical gowns are usually sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO) to ensure their sterility, thus meeting the strict requirements of medical facilities such as hospitals and clinics.
2. Applicable scenarios
Level 3 surgical gowns are suitable for medium-risk surgical occasions, such as shoulder arthroscopy, transurethral resection of the prostate, mastectomy and other similar surgeries and operations. In these surgeries, surgical gowns may be exposed to a certain degree of liquid, so surgical gowns with medium protection are required to ensure the safety of medical staff.
3. Precautions
Choose the right size: In order to ensure the protective effect and comfort of surgical gowns, medical staff should choose the right size according to their body shape.
Correct use: During the operation, medical staff should wear surgical gowns correctly, ensuring that all openings and gaps are tightly fitted to prevent liquid penetration.
Timely replacement: If the surgical gown is contaminated or damaged during use, it should be replaced immediately to ensure continued protection.
