When dealing with patients who may be infected with blood - borne pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, isolation gowns for blood borne pathogen isolation are indispensable. These gowns are crafted from fluid - resistant materials that effectively repel blood and other bodily fluids. The seams of the gowns are sealed to prevent any leakage of fluids through the stitching. They are designed to fit comfortably over regular clothing, allowing healthcare providers to move freely while providing care. The gowns also have long sleeves with elastic cuffs to ensure a tight fit around the wrists, minimizing the risk of exposure to contaminated fluids. In high - risk procedures such as surgeries, blood transfusions, or wound care, these isolation gowns provide a crucial layer of protection, safeguarding the health of medical staff and reducing the potential for cross - contamination between patients and healthcare workers.
