Hallo Alberto

EN 13795 European Standard for surgical Gowns and Drapes Quality Requirements is a series of standards, consisting of 5 parts, which you find on the website of www.pfeiffertextile.com
An excellent article highlighting different aspect of disposable vs. reusable, you can find on the Infection control Today website: "Taking Cover: single-use vs. Reusable Gowns and Drapes" by Barbara J.Gruendemann, RN, MS, FAAN CNORExecutive.
