gowning
Putting on garments
Gowning is the process of putting on protective garments, especially in sterile environments like operating rooms, cleanrooms, or laboratories.
The ritual typically involves donning a gown, gloves, mask, and other coverings in a specific sequence to prevent contamination: The surgeon began gowning before the procedure.
In semiconductor manufacturing, gowning protocols are particularly strict.
