Protective Clothing and Aprons for Contamination and Splash Control
Protective clothing and aprons cover the disposable and reusable garments that facilities issue for contamination, splash and particulate control across clinical support, laboratory, environmental services and maintenance areas. The catalog stocks coveralls, gowns, lab coats, sleeves and aprons by barrier level and garment format so materials management can standardize issue across departments.
Protective Clothing Formats Stocked
- Disposable coveralls - Full-body coveralls in polypropylene, microporous film and DuPont Tyvek and Tychem, with and without hood and boots, for particulate and liquid-splash tasks.
- Isolation and procedure gowns - AAMI level-rated single-use gowns in SMS and film-reinforced constructions from Medline, Cardinal Health and Halyard for contamination and fluid control.
- Lab coats and jackets - Disposable polypropylene and reusable poly-cotton lab coats in knit and elastic cuff styles for laboratory and cleanroom areas.
- Aprons - Polyethylene and vinyl disposable aprons and heavier reusable utility aprons for dishroom, decontamination and dietary use.

Barrier Levels and Construction
Protective garments are described by material and, for gowns, by AAMI barrier level, which rates fluid resistance from minimal to high. Polypropylene garments give lightweight particulate coverage, SMS and microporous films add fluid resistance, and Tyvek and Tychem constructions add chemical splash protection. The catalog stocks both disposable garments for single-task contamination control and launderable garments where a facility reprocesses through its own laundry program. Sizing runs through standard S to 5XL ranges depending on the line.
Protective clothing is a steady contamination-control consumable across clinical support, laboratory and environmental services departments. Disposable coveralls, gowns and aprons move in case volumes tied to procedure and task counts, so standing orders and case pricing help materials management hold consistent barrier levels and sizing across a facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a coverall and an isolation gown?
A coverall is a full-body garment with sleeves and legs, and often a hood and integrated boots, used for particulate and chemical splash tasks in maintenance, environmental and laboratory work. An isolation gown is an open-back garment that ties at the neck and waist, rated by AAMI barrier level, and used for contamination and fluid control in clinical support settings. The catalog stocks both formats.
What materials are protective garments made from?
Disposable garments are made from spunbond polypropylene for lightweight particulate coverage, SMS and microporous films for added fluid resistance, and DuPont Tyvek and Tychem for chemical splash protection. Reusable lab coats and aprons are made from poly-cotton and coated fabrics for laundering. The catalog lists the material for each garment so buyers can specify by barrier need.
What sizes of protective clothing are stocked?
Coveralls, gowns and lab coats are stocked in standard adult sizes, commonly small through 5XL depending on the line, with regular and tall options in some coverall families. Aprons are supplied in one-size and sized formats. Sleeve, beard, shoe and boot covers are stocked in universal fit to complete a garment ensemble.
Can facilities order protective clothing and aprons in bulk?
Yes. Coveralls, isolation gowns, lab coats and aprons are stocked in case and carton quantities for hospitals, laboratories, long-term care facilities, environmental services and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-turnover gown and coverall SKUs. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What protective clothing products should be in a facility formulary?
A protective clothing formulary, or approved product list, typically covers an AAMI-rated isolation gown for clinical support areas, a polypropylene and a film coverall for particulate and splash tasks, a disposable lab coat for laboratory use, and polyethylene aprons for dishroom and decontamination work.
