In many hospitals, patients are encouraged to wear hospital-provided gowns or clothing after surgery rather than their own pajamas. This is done for several reasons:
Infection Control: Hospital-provided gowns are designed to meet specific infection control standards. They are typically made from materials that can be easily cleaned and disinfected, reducing the risk of contamination or infection.


Hygiene: Hospital-provided gowns are typically laundered and sterilized to maintain cleanliness and reduce the risk of infection. Personal pajamas may not meet the same hygiene standards.
