Key features
- Thumbholes help hold sleeves in position.
- Back ties secure the gown during wear.
- Half-open back leaves part of the back uncovered.
- Disposable construction for single-use clothing coverage.
Applications
Where facility procedures permit general-purpose gowns:
- Visitor gowning in nonclinical areas.
- Food production and packaging support.
- Routine housekeeping without hazardous exposures.
- General facility clothing coverage.
Consider sleeve position and coverage
Thumbholes help prevent sleeves from sliding back when the wearer reaches or moves. If gloves are required, check how the glove cuffs and gown sleeves overlap during the actual task. Thumbholes do not replace gloves or establish a tested seal at the wrist.
The half-open back is an important selection detail. Choose a different garment when your procedure requires full back coverage. Before issuing gowns across a department, check sleeve reach, body coverage, tie placement, and freedom of movement over the clothing workers normally wear.
For stock planning, one case contains ten bags of ten gowns. Allocate bags by work area and estimate replacements from actual gown changes, not just employee headcount. Record model 5252 on replenishment orders so purchasing teams can distinguish this half-open-back PE garment from other blue gowns with different closures, coverage, or documented ratings.
Choose by the task, not the material name
Polyethylene identifies the material; it does not establish a medical barrier level, chemical resistance rating, or suitability for every liquid exposure. The manufacturer's public listing identifies 5252 as non-surgical and does not state an AAMI level. Do not substitute it for a documented isolation gown when your procedure requires one.
Likewise, the term CPE does not automatically mean a gown is thicker, stronger, or more protective. Compare the exact model's coverage, material thickness, intended use, and documented performance. For clinical work, use the barrier level and labeling required by your facility's infection-control program.
Review the official Ironwear 5252 product specifications for material and packaging details before ordering.
