Steps for putting on a surgical gown

Before putting on the surgical gown, wash your hands and put on the hat and mask.

1. Remove the sterile surgical gown after washing your hands and choose a more spacious place.

2. Grasp the ends of the collar of the surgical gown with both hands, separate them to the sides, turn the cuffs to yourself, and shake the gown open.

3. Gently toss the gown upward, and extend your arm into the cuffs with your hand forward, taking care not to touch the germy area.

4. Afterwards, with the assistance of the visiting nurse, the gowner grasps the corner of the collar from behind and pulls it backward; the gowner then extends his hands forward into the cuffs, and the nurse keeps track of the straps on the corner of the collar.

5. The wearer bends slightly so that the belt hangs in the air and crosses his/her hands to lift the belt and pass it backward, and the nurse takes the belt behind the wearer and ties it.
