The Disposable CPE (Cast Polyethylene) Isolation Gown is an economical and effective single-use barrier designed for non-sterile, high-fluid exposure scenarios in dental and medical environments. Its primary feature is complete waterproofing, providing a reliable shield against splash and spray.
Technical Specifications & Material Science: The gown is made from lightweight, translucent CPE film, a material prized for its exceptional fluid impermeability and resistance to many chemicals. This makes it an ideal barrier against blood, saliva, irrigation fluids, and disinfectants. The design is simple and functional: a open-back style with long sleeves ending in secure cuff thumb loops, which prevent ride-up and ensure continuous coverage of the wrist area. It typically features neck and waist tie closures for a secure fit. The standard blue color provides a professional appearance and clear visibility of contamination. The material is inherently lint-free, which is crucial in sterile and clean environments.
Industry Standards & Compliance: Manufactured as a Class I medical device under CE and FDA regulations. While not rated under AAMI PB70 like SMS gowns, its CPE construction provides a demonstrable physical barrier against fluids. Production follows GMP principles.
Application Scenarios: Perfect for non-sterile but high-splash dental procedures such as prophylaxis (cleaning), dental impressions, or chairside assistance. Widely used in infection control protocols for patient isolation, in cleaning and disinfection of operatories, and as an overgarment when handling chemicals or biohazardous waste.
Usage Guidelines: Don over regular clinic attire. Secure the ties at the neck and back. After donning gloves, pull the sleeve cuffs over the gloves and secure with the thumb loops. This gown is for single-use only. It should be removed carefully by tearing open and rolled inward to contain contaminants before disposal in appropriate waste streams.
Market Value Proposition: This gown is the cost-effective workhorse for routine barrier needs. For dental practices, it offers essential daily protection at a low per-unit cost. For wholesalers, it represents a high-volume, fast-moving consumable with consistent demand. Its simplicity, effectiveness, and affordability make it a staple in clinic inventory for procedures where a sterile field is not required but fluid resistance is paramount.
