“The Math Is Simple” Graphics
These graphic photos illustrate how reusable surgical and isolation gowns reduce the waste and the attendant costs when compared with disposable options. This data was generated from two life cycle analyses overseen by the ARTA LCA Committee.
The takeaway? One reusable gown can be washed and reused as many as 60 times or more, which drastically reduces waste. And a well-managed reusable hospital gown program is much more cost-effective than buying reusables. The ARTA-IAHTM Surgical Gown Life Cycle Assessment also confirms that reusable surgical and isolation gowns are THE most sustainable option versus disposable counterparts.
