What Kind Of Fabric Can Be Used To Replace The Surgical Clothing Fabric

What kind of fabric can be used to replace the operation clothing? The operation clothing belongs to the medical shielding fabric, mainly focusing on the barrier performance. Barrier properties include the ability to prevent the penetration of liquids and microorganisms. In the process of medical rescue, medical staff inevitably contact with the patient's blood and body fluids, which often carry various pathogens such as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and HIV.

Secondly, the operating clothes should be clean and tidy in wearing and use, not easy to produce dandruff and micro dust, because the hair and micro particles falling from the surface of the operating clothes are easy to carry pathogens, causing harm to the safety of patients; at the same time, the stretch force and wear resistance of the fabric should be considered when evaluating the protective performance of the operating clothes. Because, the rupture and wear of the clothes will make the pathogen directly contact with the skin of the medical staff, and make the surgical clothes lose the protective ability. In addition, the patient's blood will be splashed out during the operation, so the operation clothes must also have certain adsorption function and water pressure resistance performance. In addition, the operation clothes should also meet other requirements such as comfort, flame retardant, antistatic, etc.

At present, more than 80% of domestic hospitals should be made of pure cotton fabric, mainly 20x20 (108x58), 20x20 (60x60), and a small amount of 21x21 (100x50). However, in the requirements of western countries for surgical gowns, all kinds of protective and sensory control have been taken as the main standard focus to reduce the application of cotton surgical gowns. Although cotton has good air permeability, it has no barrier protection function. In case of large-scale operation, massive bleeding or need to use a large amount of liquid to wash, the splashed liquid will soak the surgical clothes and penetrate into the inner layer to brush the hand clothes. With the possibility of carrying pathogens, medical staff will face greater risk of infection. With the improvement of sense control and protection concept, medical clothing manufacturers and hospitals improve this problem from the material aspect. In the case of cotton surgical gowns, the manufacturer may use post-treatment to add water splashing agent or multi-layer combination to reduce the adsorbed liquid. On the hospital side, the operating room medical staff may stick on waterproof plastic film or water collecting layer to collect the fluid from the operation to avoid contact with human body.

So at present, according to the functional requirements of the surgical gown, the medical fabric manufacturers have launched the fabrics with the ability to solve this problem. First, the high-density fabrics are made of polyester fiber materials, and the conductive fiber or carbon fiber is put into the fabrics, so that the fabrics have the antistatic effect, at the same time, they have the hydrophobicity, prevent the immersion of blood and liquid, have the barrier function, and are not easy to produce micro dust The utility model has the advantages of detaching the flocs of the cotton surgical clothes. In addition, the number of times of repeated use of water-resistant surgical clothes is 50-70 times more than that of cotton surgical clothes. The light weight and non water absorption characteristics of this kind of surgical clothes reduce the cost of water washing, so the overall cost also decreases. This is also an important reason for the increase in the use of polyester surgical clothes, which is the current three defense fabrics and four defense fabrics.
