GUARDIAN Launched the Guardian 45 Range

GUARDIAN, the organisation formed from BDF and Protex, brings together the 'most comprehensive range' of multi-use and single-use sterile surgical gown packs, drape packs and tray wraps all available from a single supplier.

Now, following research and customer feedback, to meet clinical demand and the increasing challenge of cost pressures, Guardian will add a new range to its already comprehensive portfolio of viscose, spun laced and SMS surgical drapes and gowns, representing exceptional value.


The innovative new Guardian 45 range is low linting, impervious to fluid and microbial penetration and absorbent across the entire drape. The range is manufactured from soft, drapeable material and  includes super-absorbent panels for increased fluid control around the operative site.


The range includes procedure specific draping packs and single speciality drapes, incorporating pouches, tube loops, elasticated fenestrations and adhesive films. These are supported by utility and patient drapes, table covers, stockinettes and mayo covers. All products are latex free.


Uniquely, Guardian’s UK manufacturing facilities enable it to develop and customise products to the customers’ exacting requirements and designs, including short lead times and small quantities.
