Reusable Gowns Position Statement           

RACS recently released a position paper, in collaboration with the Australian College of Perioperative Nurses (ACORN) and the Australasian College of Infection Prevention and Control (ACIPC), outlining the environmental benefits of reusable sterile surgical gowns over single-use surgical gowns, emphasising the equivalent infection prevention outcomes for both.

Breast Surgeon, Caroline MacCallum, RMH, was instrumental in putting this document together. This has been endorsed by BreastSurgANZ.
