Surgical gowns serve as an important protective barrier during surgery and are used to reduce the risk of cross-infection transmission between physicians and patients. In recent years, as the medical community continues to research and develop, the protective measures taken for medical staff and patients during surgery are receiving more and more attention, and surgical gowns are receiving more and more attention.

In the late 19th century, British doctors encouraged medical staff to wear sterilized clothing for surgical operations to prevent the spread of germs among the population. Surgical gowns and sheets were used and continue to be used today.

The initial surgical gowns were made of cotton material with loose structure and easy permeability, which was applied due to its looseness and breathability, but could not fundamentally solve the problem of germ permeation. Surgical gowns with broken or deflocculated wadding can easily become carriers of germs, which can easily cause allergies and infections once they fall into the trauma surface.

In the 1950s, with the development of the non-woven fabric industry, non-manufactured fabric disposable surgical gowns were favored by many medical professionals because of their excellent barrier, breathability and material strength. These gowns do not need to be washed and will not be affected by washing procedures, so the protective performance is more stable.

New highly protective surgical gowns are available in a variety of materials. Take long polyester fiber material as an example: long fiber polyester fiber material does not flocculate or produce dust, and does not cause linting or fiber breakage due to friction washing. The material has permanent hydrophobicity, good breathability, adding high-quality conductive fibers to provide permanent antistatic function for the fabric, which can effectively dissipate the RF leakage current of medical instruments, friction does not electrostatic, the fabric is not easy to adsorb dust, in line with the high specification requirements of medical institutions on the surface cleanliness of functional materials. Applicable to the requirements of pressure steam sterilization, while having the characteristics of disposable surgical gowns with strong water resistance, and taking into account the better breathability of cotton surgical gowns.
