Are SUBMED surgical gowns and drapes compliant with AAMI Level 3 or 4 barrier protection standards?

Yes, the SUBMED line is specifically engineered to meet rigorous AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) standards. The collection includes a range of protection levels, from standard scrub suits to AAMI Level 3 and 4 reinforced surgical gowns designed for high-fluid procedures. Each product description specifies the protection level (e.g., "Impervious Protection"), ensuring your infection control team can select the appropriate barrier for everything from basic triage to fluid-intensive urology or orthopedic surgeries.

Does this collection offer sterile-packed options for immediate operating room (OR) use?

Absolutely, a significant portion of the SUBMED portfolio, including the surgical gowns and drape sets, is supplied as sterile-packed units. These items are processed using industry-standard sterilization methods (such as EtO or Gamma irradiation) and are individually wrapped to maintain sterility until the moment of deployment. This "peel-and-present" packaging is essential for maintaining aseptic technique in operating theaters and allows for rapid setup during emergency procedures.

What is the difference between "Reinforced" and "Impervious" zones in these gowns?

"Reinforced" gowns typically feature double layers of fabric (often SMS - Spunbond Meltblown Spunbond) in critical zones like the chest and forearms to absorb light-to-moderate fluid splashes. In contrast, "Impervious" gowns are constructed with a specialized plastic film or coating in those same zones that provides a complete fluid barrier, preventing any strikethrough of blood or pathogens. Institutional buyers should choose "Impervious" models for surgeries with high fluid volume (like C-sections or trauma) to ensure maximum staff safety.

Can we order bulk quantities or custom procedure packs for facility-wide supply?

Yes, Rescue Supply specializes in B2B procurement and offers volume pricing for hospitals and clinics equipping entire departments. We can facilitate bulk orders for SUBMED consumables, including pallet-sized shipments of scrubs, masks, and gowns. Furthermore, many of these items are "Made to Order" with a 10-15 day lead time, allowing us to coordinate with your facility's supply chain management to ensure consistent stock levels without overfilling your onsite storage.

Are the materials used in SUBMED PPE latex-free to prevent allergic reactions in staff and patients?

The vast majority of SUBMED protective apparel, including the SMS gowns and scrub suits, is manufactured from synthetic, latex-free materials to eliminate the risk of Type I latex hypersensitivity. This is a standard requirement for modern healthcare facilities to protect both sensitive staff members and patients. However, always verify the specific product specifications for items like surgical gloves, as some specialized lines may still offer latex options for specific tactile requirements (though the trend is heavily toward nitrile/synthetic).
