Welcome to Koos Medical Innovation

Our Mission

At Koos Medical Innovations (KMI), we are dedicated to enhancing the quality of isolation gowns—a critical component of medical PPE—that currently fall short of FDA requirements, thereby heightening the risk of healthcare-associated infections.

  • Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that patients acquire during or shortly after receiving healthcare, leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and financial burden.

  • According to the CDC, on any given day, 1 in 31 U.S. hospital patients suffer from an HAI.

  • Disposable isolation gowns often fail to meet FDA critical zone coverage requirements, increasing the risk of HAIs.

Disposable AAMI Level 2 Isolation Gowns

Introducing the KMI Design

  • Patented design prevents gaping or sagging

  • Innovative neck material easily attaches to the neck, shoulder, or chest with adhesive.

Adhesive closure at the side or in front means no more sticky tabs catching and pulling the hairs on the back of your neck!!!

Single waist piece wraps around and attaches with adhesive. No more awkward tying in the back!

The Failures of Isolation Gowns

Through real-life examples we illustrate how isolation gowns fail to provide the required coverage of critical zone A, increasing the risk of infections spreading within hospitals.

The FDA regulates medical isolation gowns and specifications state:

By design, isolation gowns are required to provide 360° protection to the healthcare worker in a manner that, at a minimum, ensures that both arms and the front, sides, and back of the body from the knees up to but not including the neck, are fully covered during movement and use
