Disposable surgical gowns are generally SMS surgical gowns and hydroentangled nonwoven surgical gowns, which are usually made of nonwoven fabrics with reinforcing sheets of nonwoven composite materials.

According to incomplete statistics, the disposable surgical gown material is mainly SMS, accounting for about 60%, and some use of spunlace (wood pulp/polyester composite cloth) with laminating material, accounting for about 30%.

What is SMS?
SMS that is, polypropylene spunbond, meltblown composite nonwoven surgical gown material.
S--Spunbond, i.e. spunbond nonwoven;
M - Mehblown, i.e. meltblown nonwoven.
Spunbond nonwovens-provide good tensile resistance;
Meltblown nonwovens - provide excellent filtration and shielding properties.
SMS composite nonwovens combine spunbond and meltblown nonwovens to fully utilize the advantages of both while overcoming the shortcomings of both, with good adsorption, filtration, bacterial resistance and high impermeability.

Compared with the common surgical gowns on the market using SMS, SMMS fabrics, there are some disposable surgical gowns using SMMMS nonwoven fabrics as the main fabrics of surgical gowns. It has stronger antimicrobial properties than SMMS fabrics, is less likely to produce lint or microdust, has better adsorption function and water pressure resistance, and has higher protective effect, which provides more comprehensive protection for medical personnel.
