Disposable gown

Choosing a disposable coat in a professional environment

The professional disposable gown plays a crucial role in many demanding work environments in terms of hygiene and safety. Here are the main advantages of this type of protective clothing:
Maximum protection against cross-contamination
The disposable gown acts as an effective barrier against the transmission of infectious agents, liquids, solid particles and other contaminants from one patient or client to another. This single-use system thus prevents the spread of diseases and infections.
Comfort and breathability of a blouse
Unlike reusable gowns, disposable models are designed to provide maximum comfort and breathability, preventing the accumulation of heat and sweat during use. This allows professionals to work in the best conditions.
Practicality and ease of use
The quick and easy change of a disposable gown, with no maintenance required, makes it a practical and economical choice. Staff can focus on their essential tasks without worrying about garment management.
Cost of choosing disposable gown
Due to their disposable nature, professional coats are generally less expensive than reusable models, offering excellent value for money.

Disposable gown materials

Professional disposable gowns come in a variety of materials, each with specific characteristics.
Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic textile that is very popular for the manufacture of disposable gowns. Its qualities of resistance, breathability and impermeability make it an ideal choice. In addition, this hypoallergenic, latex-free material offers great comfort of use.
SMS Fabric (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond)
SMS fabric is made of three layers of polypropylene, making it extremely durable and preventing any risk of tearing or breaking. The combination of these different layers of spunbond and melt-bonded polypropylene provides excellent protection against liquids, solid particles and infectious agents.
The different types of professional disposable gowns
Depending on your sector of activity and the requirements of your work environment, different types of professional disposable coats are available to you:
