But yeah. Some gowns are reusable with laundering and autoclaving. Theyβre made of cloth. Some are disposable. Theyβre made of a papery plastic material and canβt be reused or autoclaved. One in the laundry, one in the trash. Those look similar. So, sign.
And surgery or isolation or even patient use, I should say. All of that. The disposables are more fluid-resistant, but that isnβt needed in every case. And there is a push to go back to cloth more for environmental reasons. Iβm veterinary - we use both, depending on case.
Fun fact: this is literally how the brain works. Our pattern recognition neurons regularly overpower our actual visual processing neurons (over simplified, but the real science is beyond me) to quote an old teacher "the eyes don't tell the brain what they see, the brain tells them what to look for."
Itβs for a surgical suite. When youβre done, you put your gown in the laundry bin. If itβs a cloth gown. If itβs a disposable paper/plastic one, you throw it away. Those bins (trash and laundry) look similar. Some orderly got tired of pulling disposables out of the real laundry. So, sign.
Or itβs labeling the shelf where they put them after theyβre cleaned and sterilized. Either way, itβs a PLEASE STOP MIXING CLOTH GOWNS AND DISPOSABLE GOWNS! Iβm trying to do my job here!
Oh, and your English is great. This is niche knowledge. :)
PS: I shouldβve said medical use in general. Could also be isolation gowns, patient gowns, etc. Iβm just a surgery type (and veterinary so my patients donβt wear gowns), so my brain went there first. Regardless, reuse versus toss applies.

Trying to clear my head, I went out and had a a smoke... Came back, it happened again...
I will never forgive you for the rest of my life. You're a bad person and you should feel bad. π
I'm more disappointed in myself because I work in the animal medical field and have made one of these signs myself. XD
Man, brains are wired weird sometimes.
