Convertors Couture...
Fashion with function

AORN 2007

Did you ever think that your everyday surgical gown could look this fashionable?

Well at this year's 54th AORN congress Cardinal Health Convertors® did just that.merged today's hip fashions with function using materials most commonly found in the surgical gowns you have come trust. Convertors® Astound (AAMI Level 3) and SmartGown (AAMI Level 4) materials were used to create six non-traditional surgical gowns. "It's so much fun to learn while you're watching something entertaining," said Donna Tang an Operating Room nurse from Lake Park Surgicare in Indiana, who's attended more than a dozen AORN shows.
