Medical Grade PPE

Medical grade personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to disposable apparel such as coveralls, smocks, face shields, gloves, face masks, and other gear designed to protect you from infection and illness. Patients benefit from an environment that minimizes the possibility of cross-contamination. Healthcare professionals rely on PPE as a barrier to their skin from contaminants.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires employers to provide appropriate PPE for workers who could be exposed to hazardous materials. Medical-grade equipment must meet specific performance, labeling, and intended use criteria.

Personal protective equipment may be used in medical and industrial settings. Hospitals and nursing homes have different requirements than manufacturing facilities. A glove used in surgery meets higher standards than one for a mechanic. Requirements vary by country. In the United States, OSHA requires employers to provide PPE that meets minimum standards.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approves and certifies respiratory protection, such as n95 masks. In the Europe Union, products will have a CE marking when the importer affirms that the product meets EU standards.
