Encountered a large area of burns, to use the first aid kit in the ‘medical non-woven’ with gauze or bandages for bandaging can be this non-woven in the end what is it and ordinary non-woven and what is the difference between the following with me to learn more about it.
What is Nonwoven Fabric
What is Nonwoven Fabric made of
Nonwoven fabric, also known as non-woven fabric. It is a kind of fabric formed without spinning and weaving. Polyester, rayon, cotton, etc. as the main material.
Characteristics of Nonwoven Fabric:
Nonwoven fabric has the advantages of moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, lightweight, non-toxic, non-irritant, recyclable, etc., but it can not be cleaned like other fabrics.
Uses of nonwoven fabrics:
Nonwoven fabrics have a wide range of uses, and can be used for
(1) Medical: surgical gowns, protective clothing, sterilised wrapping cloths, etc.
(2) Decoration: wall coverings, bed sheets, bedspreads, etc.
(3) Clothing: lining, wadding, shaping cotton, etc.
(4) Industry; polishing materials, filtering materials, insulating materials, etc.
And medical nonwoven fabric refers to the composite nonwoven fabric with the function of anti-alcohol, anti-plasma, anti-hydraulic pressure, with the composite product performance of spunbond and meltblown, soft handfeel, with a variety of colour choices, non-toxic and odourless, highly efficient bacteria isolation. And through the equipment
special treatment, it can achieve anti-static, anti-alcohol, anti-plasma, water repellency and other efficacy, medical nonwoven fabrics of the above characteristics, is tailor-made for medical products. Because static electricity, alcohol, blood plasma, liquid, etc. are very easy to appear in the medical process
disturbing factors, medical nonwoven fabrics cost relatively high, but reduces the risk of cross-infection.
What is the difference between medical nonwovens and ordinary nonwovens?
Nonwovens, which are so widely used, are broadly divided into medical nonwovens and ordinary nonwovens. What is the difference between the two?
Antibacterial effect
excellent medical nonwoven fabrics, generally need to use ss three-layer meltblown layer structure, compared to the three-layer structure of the bacterial barrier performance, to be better than the single-layer structure. The non-medical ordinary nonwoven fabrics, there is no meltblown layer in the middle, and can not
carry out bacteriostatic effect.
Compatible with multiple sterilisation
A good medical nonwoven should be suitable for multiple sterilisation methods at the same time, preferably pressure steam, ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide and other plasma sterilisation methods, all of which can be used at the same time. Ordinary non-medical nonwoven fabrics cannot be sterilised.
