Surgical gowns are special clothing required by doctors to perform surgical operations. The materials used need to have protective properties and can block viruses and bacteria from invading medical staff. On the basis of requiring sterility, dust-free, and disinfection resistance, it also requires bacteria isolation, antibacterial properties, and comfort.

The role of disposable surgical gowns serves patients and doctors; many doctors believe that disposable surgical gowns are very suitable for auscultation of cardiopulmonary function. For doctors, surgical gowns protect them from potentially infectious biomaterials, while also preventing the team of surgeons from infecting patients. In terms of form, surgical gowns are short-sleeved/long-sleeved, brightly colored, and can often be disposable when dealing with hazardous materials to avoid the spread of biohazards.

Today, many hospitals use disposable long-sleeved gowns that cover most of the patient's body. Although disposable surgical gowns are not practical for many surgeries, it is a good choice for patients who are concerned about their physical privacy.

Doctors' surgical gowns are almost always disposable because of the invasive nature of procedures that can easily get body fluids onto the garments. These single-use gowns are packaged in plastic and typically come with sterile surgical gloves, masks, and head barriers (physician caps, etc.). These disposable surgical gowns are often reusable, and in rare cases, surgical gowns are not exposed to body fluids, but only if they are machine washable, otherwise jeopardizing sterile procedures. Like a doctor's gown, new gowns are usually handed out to staff at each shift and are thoroughly disinfected with the rest of the hospital's dirty sheets.

Depending on the surgical procedure, surgical gowns can be made of different materials. When there is a risk of exposure to bodily fluids, doctors often forgo cotton gowns in favor of SMS or PP+PE composite gowns. These fabrics are highly fluid-resistant and block penetration while allowing for comfort and breathability for the surgeon. For higher protection, surgical gowns not only protect against liquids but also further protect against pathogens by strengthening fabrics in key areas of the gown. There are also more corrosion-resistant protective garments that are more expensive but are made from higher-density, triple-resistant fabrics that will stand the test of time while maintaining a high degree of protection against liquid biohazards.
