Q. What is the difference between isolation gown and surgical gown?

Answer

Disposable isolation gowns are mainly used by health care staff to avoid exposure to infections that could be transported through blood, body fluids and other infectious materials. Surgical gowns are worn by doctors and supporting staff like nurses for the sole purpose of operation and they are worn for a short period of time and hence they are exposed to liquid bodily or other hazardous fluids for less time.
