biosuit
Full-body containment gear
A biosuit is a protective garment designed to shield the wearer from biological hazards—pathogens, toxins, or contaminated environments.
Biosuits range from lightweight coveralls to fully sealed suits with independent air supplies, used in laboratories, epidemic response, and hazardous cleanup: Workers in biosuits entered the contaminated zone.
In science fiction, biosuits often appear as form-fitting garments that regulate body functions or interface with alien atmospheres.
