Indications for Use

BARRIER® surgical gowns are intended for single use to be worn by the Surgical Team Members in the operating room during surgical procedures to protect both the patient and the operating room personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids and particulate material.

Device Story

BARRIER® Surgical Gowns are single-use protective apparel designed for surgical team members in operating rooms; function as physical barrier to prevent transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material between patient and personnel. Gowns consist of various fabric assortments tailored for general surgical procedures or high-risk procedures requiring increased protection against bloodborne pathogens. Healthcare providers wear gowns during surgery to maintain sterile fields and protect staff. Benefits include reduced risk of cross-contamination and infection transmission during invasive procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated according to ANSI/AAMI PB-70:2003 standard for liquid barrier performance and classification of protective apparel. Gowns were classified into AAMI Levels 2, 3, or 4 based on barrier performance testing.

Technological Characteristics

Single-use surgical gowns constructed from various fabrics. Barrier performance classified per ANSI/AAMI PB-70:2003. Levels of protection range from Level 2 to Level 4 depending on the specific gown family.

Indications for Use

Indicated for surgical team members in the operating room during surgical procedures to provide a barrier against microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. No specific age or gender restrictions.
