Isolation gowns are typically used by healthcare workers to protect themselves from contamination while caring for patients. The gown should be changed if it becomes visibly soiled or wet, or if it has been used for an extended period of time. To change an isolation gown, follow these steps: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer before removing the gown. Grasp the gown at the back of the neck and pull it forward. Pull the sleeves off your arms, turning the gown inside out and rolling it up as you go. Discard the gown in a waste receptacle or linen hamper. Wash your hands thoroughly again with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Put on a new isolation gown following the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring that it covers your shoulders, back, and front without any gaps or openings where contaminants can enter.
