Healthcare workers using sterile protective garments in medical settings are most at risk. Patients receiving care from these workers may also be affected if the garment fails during procedures.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for the catalog number 0400-810-000 on the garment. The product is a sterile personal protection garment sold under the T4 Zipper Toga (S/M) model.
