Do you know the difference between disposable medical surgical gowns, disposable hand washing gowns, disposable protective gowns, and disposable isolation gowns? Today I will help you figure out these types of medical “clothing”.

 

Disposable surgical gown

The surgical gown is a long-sleeved gown with a small turtleneck. The opening is at the back. It is worn by the nurse with the help of the nurse. It is mostly light blue or light green. The inside of the surgical gown that comes into contact with the doctor's body is considered a clean area, and the outside that comes into contact with blood, body fluids and patients is considered a contaminated area.

Surgical gowns play a two-way protective role during surgery. On the one hand, the surgical gown establishes a barrier between the patient and the medical staff, reducing the probability of medical staff coming into contact with potential sources of infection such as the patient's blood or other body fluids during the operation; on the other hand, the surgical gown can block the infection of the medical staff's skin or clothing surface. Various bacteria are transmitted to surgical patients. Therefore, the barrier function of surgical gowns is considered key to reducing the risk of infection during surgery.

 

 

In the "YY/T0506.2-2009" industry standard, there are clear requirements for the microbial penetration resistance, water penetration resistance, flocculation rate, and tensile strength of surgical gown materials. Due to the characteristics of surgical gowns, the production of surgical gowns will be more stringent. If manual sutures are used to sew the joints of the surgical gowns, not only will the efficiency be low, but the tensile strength of the surgical gowns will be insufficient due to individual technical differences, and stitches will easily occur. The phenomenon of bursting at all places reduces the effectiveness of the surgical gown.

WOLKON fully automatic surgical gown manufacturing machine can effectively solve the above problems. It adopts full servo + PLC control. The machine is highly efficient and can adjust the product size as needed. It adopts the latest dispensing technology to ensure that the non-woven fabric and the reinforced patch are firmly attached. You can also choose to weld 4 or 6 straps at will, and the whole process of automatic folding, shoulder welding and cutting makes the production more intelligent.

Disposable hand washing clothes

 

Hand-washing clothes, also known as hand-brushing clothes, are mostly V-neck, short-sleeved, and are work clothes for operating room staff in the sterile environment of the operating room. The scope of use abroad can be extended to the undergarments worn under the white coats of nurses and doctors in general wards as routine clothing. In our country, hand scrub suits are mainly used in operating rooms. Once in the operating room, hand washing gown must be changed. Usually after the operating staff has finished washing their hands, the nurse will assist them in putting on the surgical gown.

The purpose of the short-sleeved hand-washing gown is to facilitate the cleaning of the hands, forearms, and first third of the upper arm by those involved in the surgery. The pants have elastic bands, which are not only convenient for changing, but also more comfortable to wear. Some hospitals like to use colors to distinguish different staff. For example, in Japan, anesthesiologists usually wear dark red hand-washing clothes, while most domestic hospitals are green.

 

 

With the development of the epidemic and the emphasis on hygiene, medical supplies have higher hygiene requirements, and disposable hand washing clothes have gradually gained market share. Disposable hand washing clothes have the characteristics of anti-penetration and high hydrostatic pressure resistance. In addition, they have good breathability, skin-friendliness and wearing convenience, making disposable hand washing clothes more popular in the medical care industry than traditional non-disposable hand washing clothes. Welcome.

 

 

The WOLKON disposable hand-washing clothing manufacturing machine can meet market needs in a timely manner. After loading the double-layer material, it automatically cuts the upper material, punches and welds the pockets, and the waistband cutting and collar rolling are completed in an integrated manner. The integrated molding of the belt makes the product more solid and reliable; the servo controls the cutter independently, and the length of the product can be set at will; the pocket function can be selected as needed, which can better meet different use needs.

Disposable protective clothing

 

Medical disposable protective clothing is a disposable protective equipment worn by clinical medical staff when they come into contact with patients with Class A or infectious diseases managed according to Class A infectious diseases to prevent medical staff from being infected. Medical protective clothing can effectively protect the wearer from the threat of infection, has good moisture permeability and barrier properties, and is a single isolation item.

 

GB 19082-2009 "Technical Requirements for Medical Disposable Protective Clothing" points out that protective clothing consists of a hat, top, and trousers in appearance, and can be divided into one-piece structure and separate structure; the structure should be reasonable, easy to put on and take off, and the joints should be tight ; The cuffs and ankle cuffs are made with elastic cuffs, and the face cuffs and waist of the hat are made with elastic cuffs or drawstring cuffs or buckles. In addition, general medical disposable protective clothing has sealing strips.

 

Disposable isolation gown

 

Disposable isolation gowns are used by medical staff to avoid contamination by blood, body fluids, and other infectious substances when in contact, or to protect patients from infection. They are two-way isolation. They are generally not only used in medicine, but are also widely used in electronics, pharmaceuticals , food, bioengineering, aerospace, semiconductor, spray painting and environmental protection and other clean and dust-free workshops in various industries.

 

 

There are no corresponding technical standards for isolation gowns. This is because the main function of isolation gowns is to protect staff and patients, prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms, and avoid cross-infection. There are no requirements for airtightness, waterproofness, etc., and they are only for isolation. When putting it on, it is only required that the length of the isolation gown is appropriate and there are no holes; when putting it on and taking it off, be careful to avoid contamination.

 

 

Now do you have a preliminary understanding of these four types of medical clothing? No matter what kind of work clothes, they play an important role in protecting patients and medical workers that cannot be ignored.
