Spunbond Meltblown Spunbound (SMS) Isolation Gown
SMS is a laminate like a sandwich with spunbond on the outside (the Bread) and Melt blown on the Inside (the Jelly). Spunbond is comprised of long, continuous fibers. Two factors help make spunbond strong. One factor is that the fibers are stretched after they are extruded to align the molecules. The other factor is that the fibers are continuous. SMS is a Breathable Barrier, a fabric which holds back fluids while allowing air to pass through. (Think of it as similar to GORTEX fabric) An SMS car cover fabric, for example, keeps rain off of a car while allowing moisture trapped under the cover to evaporate through the cover. The SMS process combines spunbond and melt blown in one efficient operation.
What are the levels of protection isolation gowns offer?
AAMI, the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, has established a set of tests to determine the amount of protection an isolation gown provides against fluid penetration. Based upon these test results, an isolation gown is given a classification level of 1-4. The higher the number, the greater protection the gown provides. For more information, please visit: https://www.aami.org
AAMI Level 1 isolation gown – Use for minimal-risk situations
A level one isolation gown provides a slight barrier to small amounts of fluid penetration
A Single test of water impacting the surface of the gown material is conducted to assess barrier protection performance. The suggested use for these minimal risk gowns is for basic care, cover gown for visitors, blood draw, suturing, intensive care unit, & pathology lab ect.
AAMI Level 2 isolation gown – Use in low-risk situations
A level two isolation gown provides a barrier to larger amounts of fluid penetration through splatter and some fluid exposure through soaking. Two tests are conducted to assess barrier protection performance:
1. Water impacting the surface of the gown material
2. Pressurizing the material
The suggested use for these low risk medical gowns is for blood draw, suturing, intensive care unit, & pathology lab ect.
AAMI Level 3 isolation gown
Use in moderate-risk situations
A level three isolation gown provides a barrier to larger amounts of fluid penetration through splatter and more fluid exposure through soaking than level 2
Two tests are conducted to assess barrier protection performance:
1. Water impacting the surface of the gown material
2. Pressurizing the material
The suggested use for these gowns is for arterial blood draw, inserting an I.V., emergency room care & trauma care ect.
AAMI Level 4 isolation gown
Use in high-risk situations
Prevents all fluid penetration for up to 1 hour and may prevent virus penetration for up to 1 hour.
In addition to the other tests conducted under levels 1-3, barrier level performance is tested with a simulated blood containing a virus. If no virus is found at the end of the test, the gown passes.
Pathogen resistance, infectious diseases (nonairborne), large amounts of fluid exposure over long periods.
