Dec 13, 2022
The surgical gown must be made in strict accordance with the requirements in order to make a qualified surgical gown that can be sold to the market and supplied to the hospital.
The operating clothes must be disinfected with chlorine bleach, and must be cleaned and disinfected in strict accordance with the washing process after each use. Operating clothes are different from medical clothes such as white coats and nursing uniforms. Operating clothes are specially used in the operating room and for the operation process.
The operating clothes should be highly protective to prevent blood from splashing and penetrating, protect patients and doctors. The threaded design at the cuff can prevent the medical gloves from falling off.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose and buy good fabrics. High quality cotton fabrics can absorb sweat and inhibit bacteria, which can bring doctors a more comfortable sense of wearing and improve work efficiency.
The medical clothing fabrics are broadly divided into traditional fabrics and new fabrics.
Traditional fabrics are divided into three categories: 100% polyester fiber, 100% cotton and 35% cotton and 65% polyester. The yarn count is about 40, rough to handle, but very broad to feel good.
No functionality, basically relying on the characteristics of the fiber itself. (Polyester is not easy to wrinkle, cotton absorbs water but does not drain)
There are three types of new fabrics: 100% polyester fiber, 1% conductive fiber, 7% cotton, 92% polyester fiber, and 1% conductive fiber, 15% cotton, 84% polyester fiber. Both draping and wide feeling are considered. The surface of the fabric is generally treated with antibacterial treatment, and some are treated with waterproof treatment.
Although new fabrics also contain polyester fiber, the fiber structure is different from that of traditional fabrics. With the development of science and technology, functional polyester fibers are widely used, such as new materials such as hollow fibers that absorb moisture and sweat.
The surgical gown should meet the following conditions:
1. Natural, natural material,
2. Healthy and comfortable to wear;
3. Anti static, reduce bacterial adsorption, protect medical staff and patients;
4. Wear resistance, washability and durability. Operating clothes need to be cleaned frequently with high strength, so wear resistance is very important;
5. Breathable, breathable feeling can improve comfort and is welcomed by doctors;
6. Sweat absorption can also improve the comfort. It is inevitable for doctors to sweat when they are tired during the operation. The operating clothes will function better if they have sweat absorption function.
