Apron
An apron is a protective garment worn over the body to shield the user’s clothing and skin from spills, splashes, and debris. In medical and clinical settings, it acts as a secondary barrier against fluid penetration and helps maintain a hygienic environment by preventing the transfer of contaminants. Aprons are an essential component of personal protective equipment (PPE) for both routine care and high-fluid procedures.
Manufactured from durable, lightweight materials such as polyethylene (PE) or PVC, medical aprons are designed to be fluid-impermeable and chemical-resistant. They feature an ergonomic design with a neck loop and waist ties to ensure a secure fit for various body types while allowing for quick removal.
