A reusable surgical gown is a critical piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by healthcare professionals during surgical procedures to establish a sterile barrier between the sterile field and the non-sterile environment. Unlike disposable gowns, reusable surgical gowns are manufactured from high-performance, tightly woven fabrics, typically polyester or blends, that are engineered to withstand rigorous and repeated laundering, sterilization (often via autoclaving), and handling cycles while maintaining their protective properties. These fabrics are treated to be fluid-resistant or fluid-proof, preventing the penetration of blood, bodily fluids, and other contaminants, thereby significantly reducing the risk of microbial transmission and protecting both the wearer and the patient from cross-infection. Reusable gowns are designed with ergonomic considerations for comfort and freedom of movement during long procedures, often featuring reinforced areas in critical zones like the chest and sleeves for enhanced barrier protection. Their sustainability and cost-effectiveness over time, compared to single-use alternatives, make them a preferred choice in many healthcare systems. Strict protocols for washing, inspecting, and sterilizing reusable gowns are paramount to ensure they maintain their integrity and continue to provide the required level of barrier protection for every surgical intervention.
