Overview
AAMI Level 3 gown fabrics suit moderate-risk situations. They withstand more fluid exposure than Level 2 gowns, including larger amounts of blood splatter, and resist contaminated liquids.
BODYGARD gown fabrics at Level 3 and Level 4 are made from a breathable, textile-like spunbond material that is comfortable to wear. Surface treatment repels low-tension fluids, and a hydrophobic version is available for added protection against strike-through.
