Why Switch To
Reusable Gowns?

Reusable is the future

Why Switch to Reusable?

Reusable gowns are both an environmentally friendly and cost effective option. Reusable gowns can reduce medical waste as much as 80 percent. Additionally, our manufacturing operations run on over 90 percent solar energy, a renewable resource that helps reduce our carbon footprint.

Do you know that hospitals in the United States alone use over 250 million disposable gowns a year? Disposable, single-use isolation gowns cost up to 50 percent more than the cost of a reusable isolation gown per use. Disposable, single-use surgical gowns cost up to 85 percent more than the cost of a reusable surgical gown per use. Hospitals who are introducing reusable garment programs are seeing significant savings in their pocket and on the Earth.

Switching from a disposable to a reusable gown program can have the following impacts on your sustainability goals:

NATURAL RESOURCE ENERGY (NRE)

Up to
64% REDUCTION

GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL (GWP)

Up to
72% REDUCTION

BLUE WATER

Up to
83% REDUCTION

SOLID WASTE

Up to
95% REDUCTION

Supply Chain Security

You're Protected

The Covid19 pandemic highlighted the dangers of the disposable supply chain. With back-orders and stock deficiencies the front line was left with inadequate protection. 

Supply Security:
 Be immune to any supply chain issue with a reusable gown program and your front line will always be protected. With reusable gowns you can extend your supply in a way that is not possible with disposable options. 

Vertically Integrated Operation: 
La Forma is a vertically integrated operation protecting against supply chain issues. Locally sourced fabrics and Western Hemisphere operations provide a reliable quick turn and ship program. We offer weekly deliveries, instead of waiting for your order to be complete.
