The main difference between medical protective clothing and isolation clothing is that medical protective clothing is more durable, with higher protection grade and better protection performance.

Although medical protective clothing is better, it is relatively expensive. In addition to meeting the requirements of high strength and wear resistance, so the choice of protective clothing varies for different jobs. The following details according to the characteristics of medical protective clothing and isolation clothing, to introduce the difference between the two in detail.

Different function

Medical protective clothing is the medical protective equipment worn by clinical medical personnel when they come into contact with infectious disease patients of Class A or under the management of class A infectious disease.

Isolation clothing are protective equipment used by medical personnel in contact to avoid contamination with blood, body fluids and other infectious substances, or to protect patients from infection.

Different user indications

Wear isolation clothing: 1. Contact with infectious diseases transmitted by contact, such as transmission patients, patients with multidrug-resistant bacteria infection, etc. 2. When the patient is placed in protective isolation, such as the diagnosis, treatment and nursing of patients with large-area burns and bone transplantation. 3. May be spattered by the patient's blood, body fluids, secretions, and discharge debris. 4. When entering key departments such as ICU, NICU, protective ward, etc., whether to wear isolation clothes shall depend on the purpose of entry of medical personnel and the situation of contacting with patients.

Wear medical protective clothing: contact with patients with infectious diseases transmitted by air or droplets, and may be splashed by patients' blood, body fluids, secretions and exhaust.

Using different objects

Medical protective clothing is to prevent medical staff from being infected. It one-way isolation and is mainly aimed at medical staff.

Isolation clothing is both to prevent medical staff from being infected or contaminated and to prevent patients from being infected, two-way isolation.

The advantages of medical protective clothing over isolation clothing

1. Medical protective clothing is an important part of medical protective equipment. Its basic requirement is to block harmful substances such as viruses and bacteria, so as to protect medical staff from infection in the process of diagnosis, treatment and nursing.

2. The medical protective clothing should also meet the normal functional requirements, with better wearing comfort and safety, such as better moisture permeability, flame retardancy and alcohol corrosion resistance.

3. Medical protective clothing has the characteristics of anti-permeability, good air permeability, high strength and high resistance to hydrostatic pressure. It is mainly used in industrial, electronic, medical, chemical and bacterial infection prevention environments.

The normal and qualified medical protective clothing and isolation clothing must be sterilized with ethylene oxide and their residues controlled. They are non-toxic to human body and conform to the requirements of national medical device production license. In addition, medical protective clothing has medical disposable protective clothing technical requirements of national standard GB 19082-2009 . However, there is no corresponding technical standard for the isolation clothing. This is because the main function of the isolation isolation is to protect workers and patients, prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms, and avoid cross infection. There is no requirement of tightness and water resistance, but only the isolation. Only the length of the isolation clothes should be appropriate, no holes, when wear and take off, pay attention to avoid contamination.
