RoyalSilk(TM) Gown Launched at 55th Annual AORN Congress
ANAHEIM, Calif., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cardinal Health, a
global provider of products and services that improve the safety and
productivity of health care, has introduced a new surgical gown made from a
unique and proprietary fabric that is softer to the skin than other
surgical gowns, improving comfort for clinicians. The announcement was made
today at the 55th Annual Congress for the Association of periOperative
Registered Nurses (AORN).
The new RoyalSilk(TM) surgical gown expands Cardinal Health's infection
prevention apparel line and offers the additional benefits of improved
comfort for operating room staff. Intended for general procedures that
involve moderate to minimal fluid, the RoyalSilk(TM) gown provides AAMI
Level 3 protection from blood, liquid and other potentially infectious
material.
Surgical gowns are designed to protect patients from contaminants that
health care workers may carry and safeguard the surgical team from
infection by shielding them from blood, liquid and other potentially
infectious material that can carry viruses and bacteria from one area to
another.
"Customers have long been asking for a surgical gown that places
softness and comfort on the same level of importance as protection and
safety," said Debra Schotz, Cardinal Health's vice president of marketing
for Convertors(R) products. "The RoyalSilk(TM) gown achieves this balance
by draping the wearer in breathable softness and providing the protection
the surgical team counts on. We worked extensively with surgeons and nurses
on designing and testing this new offering, and we believe customers will
be very receptive to this."
