Level 3 gowns are a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) used in healthcare settings to provide a moderate level of barrier protection. They are designed to protect against fluid penetration and are typically used in situations with a moderate risk of exposure to fluids, such as during arterial blood draws or inserting intravenous lines. These gowns are tested and classified according to standards like the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).
