The application of disposable surgical attire is highly justified to prevent hospital infections. The effectiveness of its use depends on understanding the differences in levels of patient and staff protection, as well as its proper utilization. Optimal selection of disposable surgical attire involves maximizing protection with minimal costs, considering numerous risk factors: type of procedure, patient status, type of surgery or intervention, degree of infection risk, and similar.
