Gowns are identified as the second-most-used piece of PPE, following gloves, in the healthcare setting.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Guideline for Isolation Precautions, isolation gowns should be worn to protect HCWs’ arms and exposed body areas during procedures and patient-care activities when anticipating contact with clothing, blood, bodily fluids, secretions and excretions.

Isolation gowns currently available on the marketplace offer varying resistance to blood and other bodily fluids depending on the type of the material, its impermeability, and wear and tear.

While some studies show no benefit of the routine use of isolation gowns, others demonstrate that its use is associated with a reduced infection rate.

This paper reviews isolation gowns in healthcare settings, including the fabrics used, gown design and interfaces, as well as critical parameters that affect microorganism and liquid transmission through fabrics.

Medical masks may be used as barriers against disease transmission by fluids, especially blood, and some large droplets, but they are not designed to fully protect the wearer from entry of infectious particles via leakage around or through the mask.

There are two types of medical masks: surgical and procedure masks.

 

 

1. Luer Lock Syringe

Just like the Luer lock needles; these syringe barrels have a threaded tip that allows for the Luer lock needles to be screwed on securely. Other types of needles will not securely fit this type of syringe.

 

2. Normal Slip Tip Syringe

These syringe barrels allow the needle to slip over the tip and compress for easy installation/removal. These can also be referred to as Luer slip syringes.

 

3. Catheter Tip Syringe

This type of syringe is often used when injecting through a tube or where a regular slip tip needle is larger than a standard slip tip. These are good for injecting into things where the tapered tip can form a tight seal. These can even be used to rinse out wounds or large abscesses in a veterinary setting.

 

4. Eccentric Tip Syringe

When you need to inject something parallel to the skin, an eccentric tip syringe is commonly used. The tip is in line with the outer body of the barrel and is perfect for injecting into a vein and not penetrating both walls of the vein.

 

5. Insulin Syringe

One of the more common types of syringes, these are for single use and are inexpensive. They commonly have a U-100 marking on them that indicates the concentration of 100 units of insulin per 1 ml. and often incorporate a fine needle.
