In today's operating room, the risk of transmitting infectious disease is a vital concern. Liquid-proof surgical gowns, which offer the highest level of protection, are intended to protect both the patient and the surgical team. But typical impervious reusable and disposable liquid-proof gowns do not always offer the comfort needed during long surgical procedures.
GORE® Surgical Barrier Fabric provides the ultimate performance in comfort and protection for surgical gowns and drapes. The GORE® bicomponent membrane prevents strike-through while allowing body moisture, in the form of water vapor, to escape. So it keeps you more comfortable as it helps protect you and the patient, even during the longest surgical procedures.
Studies have shown that reusable liquid-proof gowns with GORE® Surgical Barrier Fabric are significantly more comfortable during conditions of liquid-intense operations of 45 minutes or more when compared to impervious reusable and disposable gowns.
