Isolation gown wear indications

Protective gown is to prevent health care workers from being infected, is a one-way isolation, isolation gown wear indications are as follows.

Protective gown in addition to meet the high strength and high wear resistance and other wearing requirements, often due to the purpose of protection, protection principle and different differences, from cotton, wool, silk, lead and other natural materials, rubber, plastic, resin, synthetic materials such as synthetic fiber, to contemporary new functional materials and composite materials. With anti-penetration function, good permeability, high strength, high hydrostatic pressure resistance.

2.the scope of application is different.

Isolation gown is widely used in electronics, pharmaceutical, food, bioengineering, optics, aerospace, aviation, color tube, semiconductor, precision machinery, plastic, spray paint, hospitals, environmental protection and other industries clean workshop, there are a variety of colors and specifications for different anti-static or clean environment.

3.Different objects of use
