ABSTRACT:
An improved disposable surgical gown 10 comprising a body shielding panel 12 and sleeves 26, the body shielding panel 12 having a front portion 14 and side portions 16. The front portion 14 further defining a protection region 18 defines a fluid absorbent outer layer 20, a fluid impermeable barrier layer 22 and a fluid absorbent inner layer 24. The fluid absorbent outer layer 20 absorbs blood and other fluids of the like, thus hindering such fluids from dripping off the gown, the inner layer 24 absorbs perspiration, the barrier layer 22 serves as a barrier through which fluids can not permeate. In the preferred embodiment, the protection region 18 is fabricated from a trilaminate material wherein the outer layer 20, inner layer 24, and barrier layer 22 are bonded. The sleeves 26 define a fluid impermeable barrier layer 30 and a fluid absorbent inner layer 28. The barrier layer 30 serves to protect a surgeon's arms from contact with outside fluids and the inner layer 28 absorbs perspiration at the arms. In the preferred embodiment, the sleeves 26 are fabricated from a bilaminate material wherein the barrier layer 30 and the inner layer 28 are bonded. The bilaminate material, while being fluid impermeable, is also flexible such that the surgeon's motions are not substantially impeded.
