Gown Aprons: Gown aprons are used as an additional layer of protection, usually in situations involving heavy contamination or fluids. They are often worn over standard gowns and are made of waterproof materials such as plastic. These aprons are generally transparent or white and are disposable for single-use protection.
Lab Coats: While not typically considered gowns, lab coats are often worn in hospitals by physicians, pharmacists, and laboratory workers. These are reusable garments made from cotton or polyester blends. White is the traditional color for lab coats, symbolizing cleanliness and professionalism, although some hospitals have introduced different colors like blue or gray to distinguish departments.
