HI Team
We have been unable to secure a supply of impervious gowns. Has anyone else had this issue? If so can you let me know how you have managed it?

Sorry for delayed response Leanne-IT issues unfortunately…
I realise I inadvertently sent the description of the surgical gown from the guide – did not intend to mislead – It is maintained that surgical gowns should be used for surgical environments and for sterile procedures. In this case you’re required to use a single use fluid resistant or isolation gown with sleeves- as opposed to an apron – as it provides far more protection in covering more surface area of the HCW. Isolation gowns with sleeves typically cover the back – like surgical gowns- and sometimes they are available in key hole style at the back. The main consideration for isolation gowns is that they protect the HCW adequately depending on the protection level needed for the circumstances.Cheers

Subject: Re: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] GownsHi,
Thanks so much for your reply. Your attachment was very useful.
After reading, my understanding is back coverage is for surgical gowns and these are only to be used for surgical procedures? Do we wear surgical gowns for AGPs in patients with suspected or confirmed Covid.>

Hi Team,
For the Solomon Islands, we are now using level 1 or 2 gowns with N95 masks & face shield seeing that our climate is very hot and very low risk of breaching during doffing.
This was proven, that 99% of our Nurses and doctors who are working in the Severe or Covid wards with positive patients are all negative. Not only that the AUSMAT team who were with us for the past 3 weeks has been assured us that with that level of PPE is safe.
Therefore, we are using lever 1 or 2 gowns at the moment.

Hi everyone
Could you advise what AAMI level of gown used for COVID-19 in your facility? We currently use a Level 4 gown which is extremely hot in the Central Australian weather . Whilst NHMRC refers to an impervious isolation gown, the procurement team are requesting a AAMI level to be used across the facility , except where sterile or chemo gowns are required.
Can you let me know what you use?
