Each year nearly one third of older adult Americans experience a fall, and compliance regulations by the Joint Commission and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), have created even greater urgency for the prevention of falls in hospitals and nursing facilities.

One way to help prevent falls is to identify who is at risk.

Medline's High Risk Gown is mostly yellow with red trim, a bright color combination specifically chosen to help staff discreetly recognize individuals at risk for falls or wandering. Unlike colored wristbands, another fall prevention tool, the large surface area of a gown allows for easy identification at a glance, even from down the hall.

Full tie-side closure provides maximum coverage, allowing gowns to close completely without gaps. IV sleeves. Neck and waist ties are made of durable 100% polyester twill tape and reinforced to the body of the gown for added durability.
