Gowning is basically the wearing of clothing covers, masks, and gloves that isolate your body from the cleanroom environment. Gowning involves more than just a coverall for sleeping and working.
Dressing is a process in itself, ensuring that your body is fully covered and the protective clothing is kept clean. The company decides how complex the gowning procedure should be, but it depends on how sensitive the workplace is. For example, gowning for a Grade A pharmaceutical filling operation will be much more stringent than for a Grade D packaging operation.
A few gowning ideas are common to all cultures. Like having completely clean body, hair, clothes and shoes before starting the process. Remove everything that is not needed in the cleanroom area. All personal items, jewelry, electronics, and even makeup fall under this category. Avoid touching environmental surfaces, such as lockers, floors, and walls, while getting dressed. Likewise, avoid contact with clothing, gloves, masks, and outer coverings.
We will use sterile gloves, a hairnet (also known as a bouffant), a beard cover, safety glasses and shoe covers for general gowning. The process begins as you enter the changeroom, also known as the staging area. Wear your hairnet and, if necessary, a beard cover.
Jewelry and all other personal items must be kept in your locker. Then, if you’re still wearing makeup, it’s time to take it off and wash your hands while cleaning your arms up to the elbows. On selecting the appropriate size of scrub. You can put your street clothes down to your socks in your locker. After that use 70% IPA to sanitize your arms and hands. Take off and put on your scrub top. Then come to your scrub bottoms. Keep clothes away from walls, benches, lockers and especially the floor!
