title: Evaluation of an Ethanol-Based Spray Disinfectant for Decontamination of Cover Gowns Prior to Removal.
abstract: An ethanol-based spray disinfectant significantly reduced bacteriophage MS2 contamination on material from gowns meeting ASTM standard 1671 for resistance to blood and viral penetration and on a cover gown worn by personnel. Effectiveness of disinfection was affected by the type of gown material and the correctness of fit. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:364-366.
