- Medical gowns that protect you from electromagnetic radiation
Electromagnetic radiation protective clothing is a type of clothing that can be made with great conductive fibres on the fabric. The protective clothing does not create static electricity, so it blocks electromagnetic waves from 100kHz to 300GHz. It is mainly used by the people who run electronic medical equipment systems in hospitals.
- Medical gowns made to protect against nuclear and radiation damage
Nuclear and Radiations People wear protective medical gowns in places with a small amount of large-scale ionizing radiation, mostly A rays, to keep radioactive dust and aerosol from getting into their bodies. It can protect against radioactive aerosols, toxic and corrosive gases, liquids and solids of more than 150 kinds, radioactive particles and liquids that could get into the body, and dry particles above 0.2m.
How Surgical Gowns Work
Surgical gowns are mostly worn in operating rooms by people who work there. Since the fabrics used in surgical gowns are medical shielding fabrics, they have to meet higher standards. Most surgical gowns are either reusable or made to be thrown away after one use. Surgical gowns used more than once are mostly made of regular cotton fabrics, high-density polyester acetate fabrics, and polyethene/TPU/PTFE multilayer laminates. Most SMS/SMMS surgical gowns and SMS or SMMS non-woven surgical gowns are used for disposable gowns. The reinforcing sheet is made of non-woven composite materials.
- The barrier, absorption, and comfort of surgical gowns
Barrier performance is mostly about how well surgical gowns keep things out. The main ways to test it are hydrostatic pressure, water pressure, impact penetration, mist spray, blood penetration, microbial penetration, and particle filtration efficiency.
Adsorption performance is a key part of a sterile surgical gown. Its materials can soak up liquids that splash during surgery, water vapour mist, and colloidal particle dust (surgical smoke) in the air made by equipment like electric knives. This stops harmful materials from spreading through the air, which lowers the risk of infection at the patient’s incision site and among healthcare workers.
Comfort includes breathability, water vapour permeability, drapability, quality, surface thickness, static, colour, light reflection, odour, and skin sensitivity, as well as the effects of design and sewing in garment processing. Air permeability, water permeability, charge density, and so on are the main ways to judge a material.
- The requirements for surgical gowns at the hospital
No matter what fabric the surgical gown is made of, it needs to have the three characteristics of a surgical gown to be a qualified surgical gown. This is because there are strict rules and requirements for medical clothing. If the surgical gown isn’t up to par, it could kill the patient. What are the requirements for surgical gowns in a hospital?
(1) The fabric won’t pill or change shape after being washed. Most people don’t know that clothes have to be able to stand up to chlorine bleach.
(2) The gown should fit well, be easy to wear and be simple.
