Abstract

A surgical gown comprises a body covering portion and sleeves, the body covering portion having a front portion and side portions. The front portion has a central operative region having a water impermeable material layer covering the central operative region. Each of the sleeves has a zone comprising a layer of a base sleeve material and a layer of a water-repellant, air-porous nonwoven fabric web. The web provides enhanced water repellency to the sleeve zones compared to that provided by the base sleeve material alone.
