Protective Gowns & Isolation Body Suits

Protective gowns and isolation-style body suits provide additional coverage over clothing. They can be useful in workplaces and other environments where employees need an extra protective layer while completing their tasks.

Available options include non-woven protective gowns and heavier-duty styles with additional protective features. Check each product page for its specific material, construction, sizing, and recommended applications.

Protective Face Shields

Face shields provide transparent coverage in front of the face while allowing the wearer to maintain visibility. Imprint offers reusable face shield options with features such as adjustable headbands or forehead padding for a more secure and comfortable fit.

Face shields should be selected according to the requirements of the task or environment and used with other appropriate protective equipment when necessary.

How to Choose the Right Protective Clothing

The right protective wear depends on where it will be used, the type of coverage required, and the specifications of the individual product.

Consider these factors when comparing options:

• Coverage: Determine whether you need body coverage, face coverage, or both.
• Material: Compare the materials and construction listed for each product.
• Fit and sizing: Choose protective clothing that provides an appropriate fit without unnecessarily restricting movement.
• Disposable or reusable: Determine whether your application calls for single-use clothing or reusable protective equipment.
• Work environment: Consider the conditions and potential exposure associated with the intended task.
• Product specifications: Review the individual product description carefully for its intended use, limitations, and protective features.

Protective equipment requirements can vary significantly by workplace and application. Always follow applicable workplace safety procedures and requirements when selecting protective gear.

Who Uses Protective Clothing?

Protective clothing can be useful across a variety of workplaces where employees need additional coverage while performing specific tasks.

Depending on the product and its specifications, protective wear may be considered for:

• Healthcare and care-related environments
• Laboratories and research facilities
• Manufacturing and industrial workplaces
• Cleaning and sanitation teams
• Maintenance operations
• Warehouses and production facilities
• Other workplaces with established protective-equipment procedures

The appropriate level and type of protection depends on the environment and task. Review each product's specifications before deciding whether it is appropriate for your intended application.

Protective Gowns vs. Face Shields: Which Do You Need?

Protective gowns and face shields protect different areas of the wearer.

Protective gowns and body suits provide coverage over the body and clothing. They may be useful when a task requires an additional barrier over everyday workwear.

Face shields provide transparent coverage in front of the face and are generally selected when facial coverage and visibility are important.

Some environments may require multiple forms of personal protective equipment. The appropriate combination should be determined according to the task, workplace requirements, and specifications of the protective equipment being used.
