Bodily fluids and microorganisms can be dangerous sources of contamination in the operating room, putting surgical staff and patients at risk for bacterial and viral transmission and surgical garments resistant to penetration, help minimize risk of infection.
"Surgical gowns provide a critical level of safety in the operating room, but clinicians often feel they must sacrifice comfort for protection," said Alex Hodges, General Manager, Surgical & Infection Prevention, Kimberly-Clark Health Care.
"That's why Kimberly-Clark is excited to introduce ‘AERO BLUE’ performance gowns. With much higher fluid protection and unmatched comfort, ‘AERO BLUE’ represents a significant innovation in operative protection", he added
‘AERO BLUE’ new performance fabric has a protective inner core that prevents fluid penetration—even under extreme high-pressure testing—while allowing moisture vapor to pass through the gown. Additionally, a highly breathable back panel maximizes air flow for cool comfort.
The fabric's copolymer technology provides softness and a flexible fit, giving wearers full range of motion. AERO BLUE also provides greater resistance to linting and abrasion than other leading surgical gowns.
In head-to-head fluid resistance tests with other competitive single-use surgical gowns currently available, K-C says ‘AERO BLUE’ delivered four times greater fluid protection than other non-reinforced gowns in the AAMI Level 3 category. (AR)
