disposable gown

Single-use covering

A disposable gown is a loose protective garment designed for single use, typically in medical or industrial settings.

Made from lightweight nonwoven fabric, these gowns shield clothing and skin from contamination during procedures: The nurse put on a disposable gown before entering the isolation room.

They're discarded after use to prevent cross-contamination.
