Our mission is to provide you with maximum protection. Therefore, we keep in inventory different levels of gown protection (AAMI 1, 2, 3 and 4) to properly respond to all situations that a healthcare professional may face. To ensure optimal comfort, we offer a variety of hardware choices: PP+PE, SMS, SMMS. We also offer bouffant caps and shoe covers.

We offer two types of medical gowns:
- Isolation gowns: our waterproof protective gowns allow caregivers, patients, and visitors to protect their personal clothing from bodily fluids.
- Surgical gowns: protective gowns made of sterile materials worn by healthcare professionals while performing activities in a sterile environment.
