In recent years, as the medical industry has become more aware of and concerned about the source of bloodborne infections, the protective measures taken against doctors and patients during the operation have become more and more important, which emphasizes the need for effective barrier properties of fabrics used in surgical gowns. To solve the practical problems of infection control during the operation and to effectively prevent infection. The surgical gown has a cotton surgical gown and a disposable surgical gown. What is the difference between the two, and which surgical gown should I choose?

Cotton surgical gowns have always been the preferred choice for medical staff. The cotton material is comfortable and breathable, but its barrier properties are poor, no waterproof, anti-penetration, low strength, not washable, repeated washing is easy to cause breakage In turn, environmental particulate matter is produced. These particulate matter become carriers of pathogenic bacteria and are susceptible to allergies, infections, and the like.

Relevant regulations: Medical staff surgical gown fabrics should be comfortable, breathable, anti-infiltration, moderate thickness, fiber not easy to fall off, no static electricity; timely cleaning, disinfection or sterilization after use. The operating room should be equipped with personal protective equipment such as protective glasses, face shields and fully covered surgical caps to prevent blood and body fluids from penetrating and splashing.

The non-woven fabric of disposable surgical gowns has certain disadvantages in terms of comfort. In addition, if the production process is not properly controlled, the breathability of the non-woven fabric cannot be guaranteed, so that users wearing disposable surgical gowns operate for a long time. The process will feel stuffy and uncomfortable. Another important feature is that it will produce a large amount of medical waste, increase processing costs, and cause environmental pollution. However, because the disposable surgical gown has the characteristics of anti-alcohol, anti-blood, anti-static, etc., its antibacterial performance is better.

Therefore, considering that its main purpose is to prevent infection, it is recommended to choose a disposable surgical gown.
