This analysis, done in-house by Lac-Mac, is an overview of the benefits a reusable gown and drape program in your healthcare facility provides, and how such a program can help a healthcare facility save money and meet environmental goals within the operating room. 


Reusable surgical gowns and drapes can reduce environmental waste by more than 73% by weight and 93% by volume compared with single-use gowns and drapes. 


Overall cost savings of reusable garments and barriers over disposables have been proven, but vary based on regulated medical waste costs differing by region.
