Brainchild of Athletes

Who Are We?

For over 15 years, we have been at the forefront of apparel technology, design & manufacturing for elite performance brands around the globe. We believe that medical professionals deserve the same breathability, fit, function, mobility, and attention to performance quality as high performing athletes do. We also know that, just like professional athletes, frontline workers need a product that provides effective and functional protection that eliminates any friction between them and a job well done.

La Forma Medical launched our reusable gown program in partnership with Inova Health Systems. Since then, we have expanded our catalog to include a wide range of reusable products in the healthcare industry. We have developed our high-performance medical garments by working with this renowned hospital system, using focus groups with direct input from esteemed doctors, surgeons and nurses on the front line.

How a sports apparel company helped health system pivot to reusable gowns

"Inova leaders and La Forma decided to work together to create a reusable gown that fits better, is easier to take on and off, and can be reused up to 100 times. The two organizations worked closely, soliciting feedback from nurses and staff to improve the gown, sometimes meeting over late-night Zoom calls."

Innovative Gowns Fill Wishlist of Sustainability, Style, Design

One of the key innovations of this new gown design is the pull cord at the front. “In previous gowns that we used, there's a tie in the back that you'd have to undo; you take your hands behind your neck and untie,” she explained that untying could be difficult for some people. However, she continued, “This new gown has a pull cord on the left shoulder. In 1 swift motion, when you pull down, that [movement] automatically will undo the snaps in the back. So that pull cord is something that we've not seen in isolation guys before.”

Virginia Hospital System innovative, reusable gown a hit across the board

"Aside from the fact that it can be washed over 75 times, I can get in and out of (the gown) without help from someone else, it is breathable material so I don’t feel like I’m in a sauna, and the sleeves are long enough to give you full mobility. It is by far the best PPE gown I have used."
— Darlene T., Nursing Home
