The categories and material of surgical gown
Disposable Surgical Gown Categories and Materials
I.Primary ClAssification by Protection Level
Standard Gowns
Designed for low-infection-risk procedures(e.g.,outpatient surgery),these gowns provide bAsic liquid barrier protection.They typically use single-layer SMS nonwoven fabric(40-55gsm),balancing cost and functionality.
Reinforced Gowns
Used in moderate-to-high-risk surgeries(e.g.,orthopedics or endoscopic operations),they feature critical-area reinforcements.Materials include PP+PE composite film or thickened SMS(≥60gsm),significantly enhancing penetration resistance.
Special Protective Gowns
Essential for infectious surgeries or high-fluid-exposure scenarios,they utilize microporous film combined with heat-sealed seams to ensure complete liquid isolation.
II.Core Material Technologies
Nonwoven Fabric Systems
SMS(Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond):A three-layer composite(45-55gsm)offering optimal balance between protection,breathability,and cost efficiency.It dominates>65%of the market.
SMMS:Adds an extra meltblown layer,improving liquid repellency by 300%compared to standard SMS.
Spunlace Nonwoven:Hydraulically entangled fibers provide superior softness for prolonged surgeries.
Functional Coatings
Microporous Film:With 0.2-5μm pores,it blocks pathogens while allowing moisture vapor transmission.
Fluorocarbon Treatment:Imparts"triple resistance"against blood,alcohol,and oils.3
PE Lamination:A low-cost waterproof layer,though less breathable.3
III.Critical Design Features
Seam Construction:UltrAsonic welding or heat sealing eliminates needle-hole leakage risks3
Ergonomic Sleeves:Raglan sleeves with reinforced panels enhance mobility and durability.
