Types, characteristics, and uses of medical protective clothing

Medical protective clothing is the work dress of medical staff, that is, protective clothing for medical workers. It is mainly used to isolate germs, harmful ultrafine dust, acid solutions, salt solutions, and corrosive chemicals to keep the environment clean.

According to the different non-woven materials selected, medical protective clothing is divided into ordinary PP non-woven protective clothing, film-coated non-woven protective clothing, SMS non-woven protective clothing, and breathable film non-woven protective clothing. Each type of protective clothing has its own characteristics and uses.

1, Ordinary PP non-woven protective clothing

Ordinary PP non-woven protective clothing is made of PP spun-bond non-woven fabric, characterized by breathable, dustproof, non-waterproof, good tensile strength, and the difference between the front and the back is not obvious. PP spun-bond non-woven fabric is used for ordinary isolation suits, low-grade isolation suits, and patient suits.

2, Coated non-woven protective clothing

The fabric is a film-coated non-woven fabric, which is characterized by: airtight, waterproof, good bacteria isolation effect, obvious distinction between the front and the back, and the non-woven fabric on the body contacting side is non-allergenic, and it feels good. There is a layer of plastic film outside to prevent liquid leakage, which is used in occasions with pollution and viruses. The main use of the hospital infectious ward is the film-coated non-woven protective clothing.

3, SMS non-woven protective clothing

Three-layer composite non-woven fabric, with a waterproof layer in the middle, and the outer layer is sesame dot SMS non-woven fabric, which is strong and tensile, with isolation, waterproof and breathable function. SMS non-woven fabrics are used for surgical gowns, surgical hole towels, isolation gowns, test gowns, operating suits, non-surgical masks, and visitor gowns.

4, Breathable film non-woven protective clothing

Using PP polypropylene, covered with PE breathable film, it has strong air permeability, better anti-permeability, and has high impact resistance while resisting a variety of organic solvents, acid and alkali corrosion. Strong mechanical properties, soft and comfortable texture. Non-combustion, non-toxic, non-irritating, harmless to the skin. It is bacteria-resistant, waterproof, slightly breathable, and soft in texture. It is the most advanced medical protective clothing for medical protection. Its characteristic is that the human body’s sweat can radiate outward, but the harmful gas and moisture outside can’t invade. In addition, the breathable non-woven fabric is also used in surgical gowns, surgical drapes and isolation gowns.
