Single-use garments are intended for one-time wear. Limited-use garments can be worn until they are damaged, altered, or contaminated. Reusable garments can be worn multiple times as long as the suits have not become damaged during use (or if so, repaired), the suits have been completely decontaminated after use, and the barrier performance of the fabric has not been compromised. Determining whether or not a reusable garment has been fully decontaminated and that the contaminants have not altered the strength or protection capabilities of the garment can be a difficult decision.
