Surgical gowns belong to Class II medical devices. They are used in surgical supplies as necessary protective clothing during the operation. They are used to reduce the risk of medical staff contacting pathogenic microorganisms, and at the same time, they can also reduce the risk of pathogenic microorganisms spreading between medical staff and patients. A safety barrier for the sterile area during surgical operations.

Surgical gown use range

It can be used for surgical operations, patient treatment; epidemic prevention and inspection in public places; disinfection in virus-contaminated areas; and can also be widely used in military, medical, chemical, environmental protection, transportation, epidemic prevention, and other fields

Classification of surgical gowns

1. Cotton surgical gown. Surgical gowns, which are the most widely used and most dependent in medical institutions, have good air permeability but have poor barrier and protection functions. The cotton material is prone to flocculation, which makes the maintenance cost of the hospital's ventilation equipment a lot of burdens.

2. High-density polyester fabric. This type of fabric is mainly made of polyester fiber, and conductive materials are embedded on the surface of the fabric so that the fabric has a certain antistatic effect, which improves the comfort of the wearer. This type of fabric has a certain degree of hydrophobicity, is not easy to produce cotton bleaching, 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 laminated 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 the domestic popularity is not very wide.

4. (PP) Polypropylene spun-bond fabric. Compared with traditional cotton surgical gowns, this material can be used as a disposable surgical gown material because of its low price and certain antibacterial and antistatic advantages. However, this material has a comparatively high resistance to hydrostatic pressure. Low and the barrier effect to the virus is relatively poor, so it can only be used as a sterile surgical gown.

5. Polyester fiber and wood pulp composite spun cloth. Generally only used as a material for disposable surgical gowns.

6. Polypropylene spunbond-meltblown-spun. Adhesive composite non-fabric (ie SMS or SMMS): This material is a high-quality product of a new type of composite material. The material has high resistance after being treated with three antibodies (anti-alcohol, anti-blood, and anti-oil), anti-static and anti-bacterial. Hydrostatic pressure capacity. SMS nonwovens are widely used at home and abroad and are often used to make high-end surgical gowns.

Structural design of surgical gown

New protective surgical gown

By setting a protective collar, the neck of the operator can be kept warm and protected. The provision of a handguard is beneficial for the surgical staff to temporarily place their hands in the handguard while waiting during the operation, which plays a protective role and is more in line with the principles of aseptic operation and occupational protection.

The design of the new humanized protective surgical gown has been improved in the key areas of the gown. The forearm and chest area are double-thickened, and there are handguards in front of the chest and abdomen. By arranging reinforcing sheets (double-layer structure) in key areas, it is beneficial to improve the water-permeability of surgical gowns and improve safety.
