Disposable Coveralls for Infection Control and Protective Healthcare Environments
At John Preston, we supply a range of disposable coveralls designed to provide full-body protection for healthcare, infection control, industrial and professional applications. Our range includes protective coveralls suitable for different levels of risk, including Type 5/6 protective coveralls and economical disposable coverall options designed to help protect users from contamination, dust, particles and fluid exposure.
Disposable coveralls form an important part of personal protective equipment (PPE), helping provide additional coverage where standard aprons or gowns may not provide sufficient protection.
Supporting Infection Prevention and Safer Working Practices
In healthcare and professional environments, there are situations where additional body coverage is required to help protect workers from potential exposure to:

Disposable coveralls can help support:
- Reduced risk of contamination
- Protection of clothing and skin

Full-body gowns or fluid-resistant coveralls may be required when there is a risk of extensive splashing or where an apron does not provide adequate coverage for the activity being undertaken.
