Disposable surgical gown fabric is a medical protective fabric whose main function is protective performance. Barrier properties include the ability to prevent penetration of liquids and microorganisms. During medical procedures, medical personnel inevitably come into contact with the blood and body fluids of patients. The patient’s blood and body fluids may carry pathogens such as HBV (hepatitis B virus), HCV (hepatitis C virus), and HIV (HIV).
Because the hair, particles and other easily carried pathogens on the surface of ordinary disposable surgical gowns easily endanger the safety of patients, the disposable surgical gowns also keep the operator clean and tidy, and are not prone to dandruff or dust. A good surgical gown should consider the tension and abrasion resistance of the fabric, as breakage and damage to the garment will allow bacteria to come into direct contact with the medical staff’s skin, while disposable surgical gowns will not have any effect. The patient’s blood will overflow during the operation, so the disposable surgical gown must have certain adsorption and water pressure resistance. Disposable surgical gowns should also meet the requirements of comfort, flame retardancy and antistatic properties.
The properties of disposable surgical gowns mainly include barrier properties and comfort properties.
Barrier performance mainly refers to the protective performance of disposable surgical gowns. Evaluation methods include hydrostatic pressure, hydrostatic testing, shock penetration, spray, blood penetration, microbial penetration, and particle filtration efficiency.
Comfort properties include: breathability, water vapor permeability, drape, mass, surface thickness, electrostatic properties, color, reflectivity, odor and skin sensitivity, as well as the impact of design and craftsmanship. The main evaluation indicators are air permeability, moisture permeability and charge density.
