The principle of medical protective clothing

Protective wear needs to have good resistance to synthetic blood penetration, waterproof performance, and the ability to block microbial aerosols and filter particulate matter. At the same time, it is required to be comfortable to wear, and the fabric is strong enough and will not be easily damaged.

1. Anti-synthetic blood penetration and water resistance: protective clothing can prevent the penetration of liquids such as blood and water, and prevent medical staff from contacting patients' blood and body fluids so as to be infected.

2. The ability to filter particulate matter and block microbial aerosols: it means to prevent viruses in the air from attaching to the skin surface of medical staff in the form of aerosols, thereby causing infection.

3. Wearing comfort: Comfort includes air permeability, moisture permeability and antistatic property. The air permeability and moisture permeability are to facilitate the perspiration and heat dissipation of the wearer. Antistatic is to prevent sparks caused by static electricity, which will affect the normal use of medical equipment.

4. Anti-damage: The fabric of the protective clothing should have certain mechanical properties to prevent the fabric from being damaged, and prevent bacteria and viruses from contacting the wearer through the damaged fabric.

Medical protective clothing is used to provide barriers and protection for clinical medical staff when they come into contact with potentially infectious patients' blood, body fluids, and secretions. Usually, there are two types, disposable and reusable.
