containment suit

Sealed protective garment

A containment suit is a sealed protective garment designed to isolate the wearer from hazardous environments—typically biological agents, radioactive materials, or toxic chemicals.

The suit prevents contamination in both directions: protecting the wearer from external dangers and preventing the wearer from contaminating a sterile environment.

Also called a hazmat suit or biohazard suit depending on the specific application.
