Technical Fact Sheet – Life Cycle Assessment for Surgical Gowns

Many governments, hospitals and other organizations are procuring personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies for use in protecting their employees and constituents during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to PPE like masks and gloves, surgical gowns are also in high demand. As buyers of surgical gowns plan ahead and build up supplies, these products often end up being stored for future use.

How do you ensure that surgical and isolation gowns that have been in storage still provide effective protection to the wearer when they are ready for use?

Intertek has developed a Full Life Cycle Assessment for Surgical Gowns solution to help manufacturers determine the shelf life of their surgical and isolation gowns, as well as the number of use cycles for reusable gowns.
