New Standards for Medical Protection: Material Selection and Performance Requirements for Disposable Surgical Gowns

As a company specializing in the production and development of disposable medical consumables, Jiangsu Dingshun Medical Products Co., Ltd has gained a profound understanding of the material selection and performance requirements for disposable medical surgical gowns throughout its more than 20 years of history. By adhering to the company's principles of "quality first" and "full process management," we can provide a detailed explanation of this core industry knowledge topic.

Material Selection for Disposable Surgical Gowns

The core of a disposable medical surgical gown lies in its protective performance, which is primarily determined by the materials used. As a custom and OEM/ODM manufacturer, Dingshun Medical understands the importance of selecting the right materials for different needs. The main material types include:

1. Non-woven Fabric:

This is the most common material for disposable surgical gowns today. It is formed by oriented or random fibers bonded together through friction, cohesion, or adhesion. Based on the manufacturing process and material properties, non-woven fabric can be further categorized as follows:

• SMS Non-woven Fabric (Spunbond-Meltblown-Spunbond):

  This is an ideal choice for high-performance surgical gowns. The SMS structure is a composite of two layers of spunbond non-woven fabric (providing strength and abrasion resistance) and one layer of meltblown non-woven fabric (providing the critical barrier properties). This material effectively blocks liquids, particles, and microorganisms while remaining soft, comfortable, and breathable.

• SFS Non-woven Fabric (Spunbond-Film-Spunbond):

  The SFS structure incorporates a middle layer of polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) film. This material offers stronger waterproof and anti-penetration capabilities, though with relatively poorer breathability. It is suitable for surgical environments with extremely high liquid barrier requirements.

• Laminated Non-woven Fabric:

  This involves laminating a film onto the surface of a regular non-woven fabric, which significantly improves its waterproof performance.

2. Wood Pulp Composite Non-woven:

This material combines the soft, absorbent properties of wood pulp with the strength of non-woven fabric, and is often used for surgical towels and drapes. When providing surgical pack components, Dingshun Medical selects this type of material based on client needs.

3. Other Composite Materials:

For special requirements, Dingshun Medical is also exploring and applying other composite materials to enhance specific performance features of surgical gowns, for example, using reinforced materials in critical areas to improve tear resistance.

Performance Requirements for Disposable Surgical Gowns

In addition to material selection, the performance of a disposable surgical gown is directly related to the safety of medical personnel and patients. Dingshun Medical strictly follows domestic and international standards to ensure its products meet the following key performance requirements:

Barrier Performance:

This is the most critical performance aspect of a surgical gown. It includes:

• Resistance to Liquid Penetration: To prevent the penetration of blood, bodily fluids, and other liquids, protecting the skin and clothing of medical staff.
• Resistance to Microbial Penetration: To prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses through the surgical gown, maintaining a sterile environment in the surgical area.

Physical Performance:

• Strength: Including tensile strength and tear resistance, to ensure the surgical gown does not tear during donning, doffing, or surgical procedures.
• Abrasion Resistance: To ensure the integrity of the surgical gown is maintained after prolonged use.

Comfort and Breathability:

Dingshun Medical has always focused on product comfort, starting with its original knitted cuffs. A good surgical gown should have excellent breathability to help medical staff dissipate heat and reduce discomfort during long operations.

Safety:

• Biocompatibility: The materials must be non-irritating and non-toxic to human skin, ensuring the safety of both medical personnel and patients.
• Antistatic Properties: To reduce static electricity buildup and lower the risk of sparking or affecting precision instruments.

Dingshun Medical's Practice and Outlook

As a medical consumable manufacturer with over 20 years of history, Dingshun Medical has consistently adhered to the principle of "quality first" in the production of disposable surgical gowns, achieving full process management from raw material procurement to product distribution. This is reflected not only in the meticulous selection of materials but also in strict production processes and quality control.

With its professional expertise in disposable medical knitted products and surgical gowns, Dingshun Medical has become a trusted partner in many domestic and international markets. The company is actively exploring more sustainable and eco-friendly solutions and is committed to bringing new technologies to the global healthcare market.
