Isolation Gowns – Combatting PPE Shortages

What started off as a simple Vintex response to COVID-19 and the emergency needs for domestic PPE materials resulted in the successful launch of three isolation gown fabrics that provide superior fluid barrier protection (20 times higher than the requirements of Level-3 gown material standards). 

Vintex has a long history of manufacturing thin, lightweight, medical grade materials for the Healthcare industry and gown materials have now become a natural extension of our portfolio of products.  Safe, durable and long-lasting reusability are all key features of our gown materials. In a time where PPE scarcity has become prominent, launderability (20+ washings for the lightest weight fabric and up to 150 washings for the heavy duty material) has made Vintex products the preferred economic and environmental choice during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The end-user response to our materials has also been extremely positive. Medical professionals have cited a heightened sense of safety and durability while using Vintex gowns, leading to longer-lasting, economical and trusted frontline use.

All three gown products are engineered and manufactured in Vintex’s Mount Forest, Ontario facility with customizable widths, colours and order length quantities tailored to suit any manufacturer’s needs.
