A surgical gown is a protective garment worn by medical professionals during surgical procedures. It is designed to maintain a sterile environment and prevent the transfer of bacteria and other contaminants. Typically made from disposable materials, surgical gowns come in various sizes and styles to accommodate different surgical settings. These gowns often feature long sleeves, a closed back, and ties or fasteners to ensure a secure fit. In addition to surgical gowns, other personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and masks are also used to enhance safety for both the patient and the healthcare team.
