Application of nonwoven materials in medical field - operating room supplies(A)

1.About medical and health textile
Medical and health textile can be divided into medical and health products.This article mainly introduces the medical category.
Medical textile
Medical textile is a textile product characterized by medical application and based on fiber and fabric.There are four main categories:
(1) implanted products;Such as sutures, artificial blood vessels and artificial joints;
(2) non-implantable products;Such as bandages, gauze, etc.
(3) functional products;Such as artificial kidney, artificial lung and other artificial organs;
(4) health care products: such as surgical pack, surgical drape, surgical gowns, surgical cover, isolation gowns, bed supplies, patient gown, protective gown.
Implantable and functional products are the market of medical textiles, involving the high-tech fields of textile, biomedicine, chemistry, electronics and electrics.The company mainly produces non-implantable and health care products in China, such as major manufacturers cummins and maidepp.
Medical textile requirements: must be non-toxic, no allergy, no carcinogenicity, in the disinfection of chemical and synthetic fibers, as well as biodegradable fibers and functional fibers.

Textile materials for medical and health care
Medical and health textiles mainly use common textiles, non-woven fabrics, knitwear, woven fabrics and composite materials. With the improvement of application requirements and technical progress, the range of non-woven fabrics used in medical and health supplies has increased rapidly in recent years, and there is a tendency to replace traditional textiles.
Nonwoven materials are characterized by softness, dust-free and short nap shedding, high filtration of bacteria and dust, low surgical infection rate, convenient disinfection and sterilization, and easy to compound with other materials.
Studies at home and abroad have shown that dust, falling short pile and shielding of fabrics used in the operating room are a major factor of wound infection after surgery. As the amount of dust suspended in the air of the operating room with non-woven materials can be reduced by 43% and the number of bacterial penetration is 0, the incidence of wound infection rate and sepsis can be reduced by 3 times.Therefore, the wide application of non-woven medical materials has very high economic and social benefits.
Non-woven materials used for medical and health supplies mainly include chemical bonding, thermal bonding (hot rolling and hot air), water spines, air netting, spunbond, SMS, laminated non-woven fabrics and flash evaporation, etc.
Evolution of the application of nonwoven medical and health materials: chemical adhesion -- thermal adhesion (hot rolling and hot air) -- spinning-adhesion -- spines -- SMS -- flash steaming -- electrostatic spinning.The most widely used are spines and SMS composite nonwoven materials.
Introduction to non-woven materials for medical and health care
Due to the variety of non-woven materials used in medical and health supplies, we only introduce the varieties with larger dosage.
1)spunlace nonwoven material
spunlace nonwoven technology, also known as jet mesh nonwoven technology and hydraulic entanglement nonwoven technology, is one of the many nonwoven process methods.It is a young nonwoven technology developed on the basis of jet finishing technology.
Spunlace nonwoven technology is a new frontier science formed by the integration of CAD/CAM technology, information technology and new material technology with the theory and basic knowledge of modern physics, chemistry and other disciplines. It is the fastest developing process method in the field of nonwoven materials.
As spunlace nonwoven products have unique performance advantages over other nonwoven products in softness, breathability, hygiene, good adsorption and other aspects, they are widely used in medical treatment, hygiene, clothing, light industry, electronics, environmental protection and daily life and other fields.According to the data, at present, 60% of the world's non-woven materials are used for medical and health care, 20% for household use and all kinds of cloth wipe, 15% for synthetic leather base cloth, 5% for industrial and other purposes.
In the early stage, the technology of spunking mainly focused on the production of disposable general medical and sanitary materials. Now, it has gradually developed to the production of wood pulp composite, chitin, bleached cotton and other functional materials and high-grade products.

Effect of Electron Beam I Irradiation on Breaking Strength of Medical Disposable Protective Clothing Material

  Abstract: Disinfection or sterilization is an important part of the production process of medical disposable protective clothing (referred to as medical protective clothing). Compared with ethylene oxide sterilization method, irradiation is faster and more efficient. Since medical protective clothing has strict requirements in terms of protection performance，the radiation effect of its materials has important research significance. The electron beam accelerator was used to treat three kinds of medical  protective clothing  materials polypropylene (PP), polyester fiber (PET) and Tyvek with different absorbed doses. Then the samples were subjected to aging tests for different time. The main performance indicators related to radiation effect in GB 19082-2009 were tested. Test results show that the performances of the three kinds of medical  protective gown  such as resistance to water penetration, resistance to synthetic blood penetration, and filtration efficien...

Design And Nursing Application of Disposable Medical Surgery Sterile Operation Package

  Abstract: Preoperative time-out verification is an important procedure for surgical safety verification. In order to improve the implementation rate and satisfaction of medical and nursing Time-out surgical safety verification, this study designed a disposable medical surgical sterile surgical kit. The time-out indicator label is added to the incision site of the  surgical gown , which meets the use requirements of the time-out confirmation in the operating room. Compared with the old  surgical package , surgeons and nurses have significantly improved the implementation rate and satisfaction of Time-out surgical safety verification (P<0.05). The implementation rate of Time-out surgery safety verification in the new surgical kit group was 100.0%, which was significantly higher than the 70.0% in the old surgical kit group (t=11.863, P=0.001<0.05); the satisfaction of the surgeons and nurses in the new  surgical kit  group They were 95.3±3.5 and 96.2±3.8, w...

Classification of Surgical Gowns

  Surgical gowns   are a type of   isolation clothing  worn for protection from pathogens during surgery. They provide an extra layer of cleanliness and hygiene to the surgical team, which is especially important in the hospital setting where more than one patient may be undergoing surgery at any given time. The first step to choosing a   surgical gown   for your practice is determining what fabric you prefer: cotton or synthetic? Cotton offers superior comfort and breathability but can wear out quicker than some synthetics; whereas synthetic fabrics offer more durability but a less natural feel. Synthetic fabrics also tend to cost less on average than cotton ones do – so it’s really up to you! These fabrics have large pores through which microorganisms can easily flow, resulting in poor barrier qualities. Closely woven textiles should be combined with polyester and long-staple cotton and treated with liquid-repellent fluorocarbons to improve the barrier qu...
