A biohazard suit, also known as a biological protective suit or hazmat suit, is a specialized garment designed to protect wearers from dangerous biological materials. There are several different types of biohazard suits available, including disposable and reusable suits. Other synonyms for the term biohazard suit include biological suits, viral containment suits, infectious disease suits, and contamination protective gear. Regardless of the name, biohazard suits are essential for those who work in fields that expose them to biological hazards, such as emergency medical technicians, laboratory workers, and first responders.
