PPE protective gowns: For a safe working environment

In the medical field, personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn to protect companions and patients from health hazards. Apart from disposable gloves and protective goggles, protective gowns are also part of the PPE. They are also indispensable in podiatry practices and furnishings, because they protect everyone involved in the treatment from infection and contamination, which can occur not only thanks to skin flakes and wound secretions, but also thanks to clothing.

PPE protective gowns: protection for the treating and treated person

During podiatry treatments and in foot care professionals, there is direct contact with substances that can pose a risk. In addition to infectious wounds, treatment personnel are also exposed to chemical substances and various active agents that are used during treatment. A PPE gown functions as a reliable barrier instead of protecting practitioners from infections and substances that are potentially hazardous to health.

In addition to the practitioners, protective gowns, which are part of the PPE, also guarantee the protection of customers and patients. This is because the clothing of practitioners is by no means sterile and can therefore become a health hazard when treating open skin areas. To ensure comprehensive protection, the use of disposable gloves is also offered. These ensure that bacteria, viruses and fungi cannot be transferred between the person treating the patient and the person being treated.

Correct application of protective gowns as part of PPE

If podiatry treatment involves contact with infectious wounds or body fluids, a protective gown is essential. No matter what the task - whether removing nail plates or treating Athlete's Foot, warts and other conditions, wearing a protective PPE gown is essential.

To ensure optimum protection, it is important to wear the PPE gown accurately. It should offer freedom of movement but still fit tightly. The protective equipment from RUCK is available in one size. The PPE protective gown can be tied shut via a strap at the back to effectively protect against infectious skin flakes, wound secretions and chemical substances.

As a result, the protective gowns should be stored hygienically and away from street clothing so that they do not become soiled during storage. After the working day, the protective gown must be disposed of. If, in the course of treatment, the gown becomes soiled thanks to blood or secretions, the protective clothing should be discarded immediately and taken to the rubbish. Thanks to the light colour of the RUCK PPE gowns, the treating staff can discover contaminants quickly and reliably. As the polypropylene from which our products are made is a plastic that can be recycled well, our products meet our sustainability requirements.

PPE protective gowns from RUCK: Skin-friendly and safe

The PPE protective gowns you will find in the RUCK product range are made with non-woven polypropylene fabric, thanks to its skin-friendly and breathable properties. Unpleasant sweating during work is therefore not an issue. The hygienic and comfortable synthetic material is allergy:friendly and odourless. Thanks to the long sleeves, practitioners along with patients and customers are fully protected.

In addition to disposable protective gowns for the podiatry sector, you will also find other protective equipment relevant to podiatry and foot care professionals in our RUCK online shop. This includes gloves, protective goggles along with containers, along with mouth and nose masks. If you want to purchase everything with one click, you can also receive convenient and affordable PPE sets from us that contain all these elements.

Moreover, germ transmission does not only occur from person to person. Surfaces can also be contaminated and trigger infections if they become contaminated. Therefore, disinfecting treatment tables and instruments is an everyday task in podiatry practices and foot care professionals. In the RUCK product range you will therefore also find products for surface disinfection, such as disinfectant wipes, concentrates and ready-to-use solutions. To keep hands clean and nourished, hand cleaning and hand care products are also part of our range.
