Disposable Isolation Gowns are used to prevent contamination of staff clothing while caring for patients. If staff may splash body fluids on their skin or clothing during operation, they should wear a gown, apron, or laboratory gown. Disposable Isolation Gowns are also worn when the staff member's arm may come into contact with the patient's blood, body fluids or broken skin.

1. Undo the Disposable Isolation Gowns belt and remove the gloves. Wash hands and then dry in operating room. Then untie the tie at the back of the neck. Begin by retracting one hand into the cuff of the gown.
2. Do not touch the outside of the cuff; because the outside is dirty, hands are now clean.
3. Take off the two sleeves with the hand wrapped by the sleeve inside the retracted cuff.
4. Without touching the outside of the Disposable Isolation Gowns, fold the contaminated outer layers of the gown face-to-face. Then roll it into a ball. Note that hands should only touch the inner layer of the gown during the entire procedure. Non-disposable gowns should be collected in designated containers in the patient's room. Disposable Isolation Gowns should be disposed of properly in a covered trash can in the patient's room. Remember not to hold the contaminated gown in your hand near your work clothes.
5. Wash your hands again before leaving the room.
