The use of non-woven fabrics in the medical field dates back to the second World War, when the demand for new and numerous medical products emerged and they were found to be superior to flax in reducing airborne pollution.
After major developments in non-woven fabrics, they have been designed in a way that meets medical needs and is much better than similar woven products in terms of cost, effectiveness, and accessibility.Cross-contamination remains one of the bigger problems in hospitals, largely due to the repeated use of woven robes, masks and other similar items that can become contaminated and potentially spread bacteria.The advent of nonwovens has facilitated the development of more cost-effective alternatives that are disposable and greatly reduce the problem of cross-contamination.
Non-woven fabrics can be designed according to the requirements of the application, making it a medical product of choice, and it has the following excellent performance:
Excellent barrier property;
High efficiency;
Better performance (comfort, thickness and weight, steam transmittance, air permeability, etc.);
Enhanced protection for the human body (better physical properties, such as stretch, tear resistance, wear resistance, etc.).
