Abstract
Background Gowns and drapes are used widely in health care facilities. Gowns have been used to minimize the risk of disease acquisition by health care providers, to reduce the risk of patient-to-patient transmission, and to maintain sterility during invasive procedures. The aim of this prospective randomized study is to compare the ability of single-use and reusable surgical gowns to protect against the infections during surgical procedures in the Department of Cardiac Surgery University Hospital Center Zagreb.
