1. Barrier performance mainly refers to the protective performance of surgical gowns, and its evaluation methods mainly include hydrostatic pressure, wet test, impact penetration, spray, blood penetration, microbial penetration, and particle filtration efficiency. The fabrics used in surgical gowns belong to medical shielding fabrics, which mainly focus on barrier properties. Barrier properties include properties that prevent the penetration of liquids and microorganisms. In medical rescue, medical staff will inevitably come into contact with the blood and body fluids of patients, and the blood and body fluids of patients may often carry HBV (hepatitis B virus), HCV (hepatitis C virus), and HIV (AIDS virus). pathogens. Therefore, the barrier performance of surgical gowns is particularly important, and its evaluation methods mainly include hydrostatic pressure, wet test, impact penetration, spray, blood penetration, microbial penetration, and particle filtration efficiency.

2. Comfort properties include breathability, water vapor transmission, drape, quality, surface thickness, electrostatic properties, color, reflectivity, odor and skin sensitization, and the effects of design and sewing in garment processing. The main evaluation indicators are air permeability, moisture permeability, and charge density.

Disposable surgical gowns should also be neat and clean during wearing and use, and it is not easy to produce dander or fine dust. The fluff and particles falling off the surface of the surgical gown are easy carry pathogens and cause harm to patient safety; at the same time, evaluate the protective performance of the surgical gown The tensile force and abrasion resistance of the fabric should be considered. Because the rupture and wear of the clothes will cause the pathogens to come into direct contact with the skin of the medical staff, making the surgical gown lose its protective ability. Therefore, the surgical gown must also have a certain adsorption function and water pressure resistance.
