surgical gowns

Sterile theater garb

Surgical gowns are loose, protective garments worn by medical personnel during operations and other sterile procedures.

They cover the body from neck to knees, with long sleeves and ties at the back, creating a barrier against blood and other fluids.

Disposable versions have largely replaced reusable cloth gowns in modern hospitals: The surgical team donned their gowns before entering the operating room.
