Exciting News: Southmedic Partners with Koos Medical Innovations

October 19, 2026

We’re proud to announce a new partnership between Southmedic and Koos Medical Innovations, bringing the innovative Koos Gown™ into the Southmedic portfolio.
And what makes this partnership particularly exciting is the story behind the innovation.

Dr. Maggie Koos is not only the founder of Koos Medical Innovations and inventor of the Koos Gown—she is a practicing pediatric physician who saw a problem firsthand and decided there had to be a better way.
Through her own clinical experience, Dr. Koos recognized the shortcomings of traditional isolation gowns—particularly the potential for gaps in coverage during real-world movement. She set out to rethink the traditional gown and create PPE designed around the people actually wearing it.
The result is the patented Koos Gown™: an innovative, no-tie, no-gap isolation gown designed to maintain coverage during movement while making donning and doffing simple and intuitive.

For Southmedic, this partnership fits perfectly with what we believe great medical innovation should do: identify a real clinical problem and find a better way to solve it.
We’re incredibly excited to work alongside Dr. Koos and the Koos Medical Innovations team to bring this clinician-designed technology to more healthcare professionals.

Because the people who spend their careers protecting patients deserve protection designed with them in mind.

Welcome to the Southmedic family, Koos Medical Innovations!
