Knowing the difference makes all the difference.

Not all surgical gowns are the same, but there’s one difference that all caregivers should know: AAMI Levels.

Resources for Surgical Gowns

Understanding AAMI surgical gown standards can help you make more informed choices when selecting your next surgical gown.

Protective apparel, including surgical gowns, are governed by a set of standards and test methods that all manufacturers must meet. These standards are established by AAMI (The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation).

In this webinar, Sandy Albright MSHM BSN RN CNOR will discuss how understanding AAMI surgical gown standards can help providers select an appropriate level of barrier protection for each procedure.
