  • Title: Intraoperative bacterial transmission.
    Author: Moylan JA, Balish E, Chan J.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1975 Nov; 141(5):731-3. PubMed ID: 1198308.
    Abstract:
    A clinical evaluation of bacterial penetration through operating room gowns was made during 100 general surgical procedures. A comparison of the degree of penetration through the standard cloth and a commercially available disposible gown was carried out. Cloth gowns, even in the dry state, were shown to be ineffective bacterial barriers. In addition, routine laundering of scrub suits failed to eliminate pathogenic bacteria.
