When we think of a hospital operating room, we often picture the high-tech monitors and skilled surgeons. However, two of the most critical "silent heroes" in that room are Surgical Drapes and Gowns.
These aren't just pieces of fabric; they are sophisticated medical barriers designed to keep both patients and healthcare teams safe.
What are they exactly?
Surgical Gowns: These are protective garments worn by the surgical team. Their primary job is to prevent the transfer of bacteria and fluids between the staff and the patient.
Surgical Drapes: These are large sheets used to cover the patient and the surrounding equipment. They create a "sterile field," ensuring that only the clean, prepared area of the patient is exposed during a procedure.
