Disposable patient gowns are frequently utilized in healthcare settings to uphold hygiene and prevent the spread of infections. They are usually crafted from lightweight, breathable non-woven materials.
While “sterile” means free from living microorganisms, disposable patient gowns are typically not provided in a sterile state. Instead, they are designed for single-use and discarded after each patient interaction. These gowns are manufactured in clean environments to limit contamination and are generally labeled as “clean” rather than “sterile.”
