Non-surgical gowns are worn in low or minimal risk situations. Surgical and surgical isolation gowns are regulated by the FDA as a Class II medical device that require a 510(k) premarket notification, but non-surgical gowns are Class I devices exempt from premarket review. Surgical gowns only require protection of the front of the body due to the controlled nature of surgical procedures, while surgical isolation gowns and non-surgical gowns require protection over nearly the entire gown. In 2004, the FDA recognized ANSI/AAMI PB70:2003 standard on protective apparel and drapes for use in health care facilities.
|
|
Surgical gowns must also conform to the ASTM F2407 standard for tear resistance, seam strength, lint generation, evaporative resistance, and water vapor transmission. Because surgical gowns are considered to be a surface-contacting device with intact skin, FDA recommends that cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation or intracutaneous reactivity is evaluated.

Founded as a paper wholesaler in 1859, this Cincinnati-based company started to produce window coverings during World War II and subsequently changed its name to Clopay, a portmanteau of "cloth and paper." Clopay entered the plastic film and garage door business in 1952 and 1966, respectively. It was these two divisions that would become key elements of ISC's growth in the 1990s and 2000s.

The Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, declared a climate emergency in April and produced a sustainable development management plan in January 2020. This plans to save approximately 2 million pieces of plastic cutlery and 800,000 straws and stirrers per year by switching to sustainable alternatives. It hopes to replace single-use surgical gowns with reusable, laundered versions and to reduce the use of medical gloves. In June 2020 Andy Burnham proposed that Greater Manchester should be a pilot for the next phase of joining up social care with NHS services. He envisaged a joined up workforce, including more common training; a “new deal” of pay and conditions for care staff; funding flows via a combined “year of care” health and care tariff; and further institutional integration.

Macewen was born near Port Bannatyne, near Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, in western Scotland in 1848. He studied Medicine at the University of Glasgow, receiving a medical degree in 1872. He was greatly influenced by Joseph, Lord Lister (1827–1912), who revolutionised surgery by developing antisepsis, by the use of phenol, thus decreasing drastically the enormous mortality of surgical patients due to infections. By following Lister and adopting systematically the use of scrubbing (deep cleansing and disinfection of hands and arms), sterilisation of surgical tools, use of surgical gowns, and (recently discovered) anaesthesia, Macewen became one of the most innovative surgeons of his time and was able to greatly advance modern surgical technique and improve the recovery of patients. In 1875, he became an assistant surgeon at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, being promoted to full surgeon in 1877.
