As an article of necessary protective clothing during surgery, surgical gowns are used to reduce the risk of medical staff being exposed to pathogenic microorganisms, and also reduce the risk of pathogenic microorganisms spreading between medical staff and patients. It is a safety barrier for sterile areas during surgical operations. . So what are the different types of surgical gowns? The following will give you a detailed introduction.

Classification of surgical gowns

1. Cotton surgical gown. The most widely used and most reliant surgical gowns in medical institutions have good air permeability but poor barrier protection. All cotton materials are prone to floc shedding, which makes the hospital's annual maintenance cost of ventilation equipment also a big burden.

2. High-density polyester fabric. This type of fabric is mainly made of polyester fiber, and conductive substances are embedded on the surface of the fabric, so that the fabric has a certain antistatic effect, thereby improving the comfort of the wearer. This type of fabric has certain hydrophobicity, is not easy to produce cotton flocculation, and has the advantages of a high repeated use rate. This kind of fabric has a good antibacterial effect.

3, PE (polyethylene), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastic rubber), PTFE (Teflon) multilayer lamination film composite surgical gown. The surgical gown has excellent protective performance and comfortable breathability, which can effectively block the penetration of blood, bacteria, and even viruses. But it is not very popular in the country.

4. (PP) polypropylene spun-bond cloth. Compared with traditional cotton surgical gowns, this material can be used as a disposable surgical gown because of its low price and certain advantages such as antibacterial and antistatic. Low and the barrier effect on viruses is relatively poor, so it can only be used as a sterile surgical gown.

5. Polyester fiber and wood pulp composite water cloth. It is generally only used as a material for disposable surgical gowns.

6. Polypropylene spunbond, meltblown and spun. Adhesive composite non-woven fabric (ie SMS or SMMS): This material is a high-quality product of new composite materials. Hydrostatic pressure capacity. SMS nonwovens are widely used at home and abroad and are often used to make high-grade surgical gowns.
