The purpose of a gown in personal protective equipment (PPE) is to provide a barrier that protects the wearer from exposure to infectious agents, bodily fluids, and contaminants. Gowns are designed to cover the torso and arms, reducing the risk of transmission of pathogens to healthcare workers or individuals in environments where there is a risk of infection. They are an essential component of infection control measures in medical and laboratory settings.
