Preventing disease transmission in patients and healthcare workers has taken on greater significance in today’s healthcare environment with the emergence of new pathogens, multi-drug resistant organisms, and increased focus to reduce healthcare associated infections.

  1. Summarize clinical rationale for the use of surgical gowns related to barrier protection.
  2. Discuss regulatory and professional guidelines pertaining to the selection and use of surgical gowns.
  3. Describe industry tests used to evaluate the effectiveness of barrier materials.
