Isolation gowns found in the marketplace today are produced from a variety of fabrics and a wide range of fibers. Isolation gowns are generally classified as “disposable/single-use”or “reusable/multi-use”.

Disposable (single-use) isolation gowns are designed to be discarded after a single use and are typically constructed of nonwoven materials alone or in combination with materials that offer increased protection from liquid penetration, such as plastic films.

The basic raw materials typically used for disposable isolation gowns are various forms of synthetic fibers
