Surgical Gowns Proxima

Over one million Proxima surgical gowns are

worn by O.R. professionals each month.

Proxima was designed by you.A surgical gown is the uniform of the surgical team.Just as athletes depend on their apparel to enhancetheir performance, you should expect the same fromyour surgical gown.

It should offer you uncompromising protection. Itshould be comfortable.And it should be the lastthing you have to worry about during a surgical pro-cedure.

When we developed our Proxima line of surgicalgowns we went straight to the people who use them.We spoke to O.R. professionals across the country toget a sense of what features they liked and dislikedabout other surgical gowns, and then worked todevelop the best gowns.

The power of choice.Medline has worked extensively with DuPont™ and3M to bring you surgical gowns with the latest fab-ric technologies.

We recognize that your O.R. team may have differ-ent preferences in a surgical gown.That’s whyProxima gowns are available in four styles: Aurora™,Eclipse®, Sirus™ and Prevention.

Each of these gowns feature a different fabric thathas its own unique qualities. However, there are a set

of benefits that all thesegowns share.

All Proxima gowns are cutwider in the chest andsleeves for a better fit.Instead of using snaps, ourgowns feature an adjustablevelcro-style neck closure.This allows the neckline to

easily adjust to a wide variety of people, while alsohelping to prevent gapping in the front which servesas additional protection against fluids.

In addition, all gowns meet and/or exceed the latestrecommendations from AAMI (Association for theAdvancement of Medical Instrumentation).

No other manufacturer offers this kind of choice.

Quality does not have to cost more.Having a choice of quality gowns doesn’t have tocome at a higher price. Our state-of-the-art manu-facturing facilities allow us to keep our pricesextremely competitive while using innovative fabricsmade from DuPont and 3M.

In fact, there’s a good chance we can save youmoney compared to competitive gowns you usetoday.
