We are the only Level 2 gown designed by nurses for maximum comfort and safety.

We analyzed over 15,000 clinician complaints in 2025 about isolation gowns. The result? 1/3 of all complaints were from the gowns that ripped at the thumb loop when they were being donned.

For a 500 bed facility this adds up to $335K in hidden costs to a hospitals bottom line.

When a major supplier recently discontinued a cystoscopy apron, it created an immediate need for a reliable alternative. We are proud to share that we stepped in to support Texas Health with our Terraloam BioApron.

When a patient is discharged, the last thing they take with them is their belongings. Last year, the Phoenix VA replaced 86,000 single-use plastic bags with our compostable solution.

That is over 180 trillion nano microplastics stopped at the source.

PFAS isn't just in non stick pans, it is in every medical gown worn today. BioGown gives better protection without the harmful plastics.

We are very excited to announce the start of our full loop collection process with Catawba Valley Medical Center. We will be reducing their plastic waste by over 15,000 pounds.

A week's worth of used medical gowns lined up in a field - a powerful visual reminder of the environmental impact in healthcare. At BioGown, we're turning this waste into nutrient-rich soil. Let's rethink and repurpose our waste. #SustainableHealthcare #EcoFriendly

🍂 Week's end = collection time! Our used gowns are headed to the compost facility. In just 4 months, they'll transform into nutrient-rich soil. From gown to ground, we're redefining sustainability! 🌱 #FromGownToGround #SustainableFuture

Ever wondered why more healthcare facilities don't have community gardens? 🤔 Gardens promote wellness, provide fresh produce, and can be a haven for patients and staff alike. Imagine the healing and sustainability combined! 🌱🏥 Let's rethink our spaces.

Delivered a fresh food basket straight from our Charlotte Community Garden to a deserving local family today! 🍅🥦 Every basket is more than just food; it's love, care, and community coming together. Let's nourish Charlotte, one family at a time.

[Terraloam @terraloam]

Our Charlotte Community Garden, nourished by #BioGown compost, has donated over 3,000 pounds of fresh produce this year! How do you think we can amplify our impact further? Share your ideas! We can nurture a greener and healthier Charlotte. #Sustainability #CommunityGiving

Imagine this: Nearly 50,000 surgical operations are performed daily in the USA. That's potentially 1.5 million pounds of medical waste - every single day! With BioGown, we're working to transform this landscape, turning waste into sustainability. #HealthcareWaste #EcoHealthcare

[Terraloam @terraloam]

BioGown's latest seam strength tests surpassed all our previous records! Our team's dedication to continuous improvement ensures our gowns are both sustainable AND reliable. A new milestone in our journey of innovation! #BioGown #EcoHealthcare #innovation
