Medical non-woven fabric is a kind of fabric that does not need spinning and weaving. It is mainly bonded together by physical methods.
It breaks through the traditional textile principle. Compared with the traditional cotton woven textiles, medical non-woven fabrics have the advantages of moisture resistance, breathability, flexibility, light weight, non combustion support, easy decomposition, non-toxic and non irritating, low price, recyclability, etc., and are very suitable for the medical field.
Medical non-woven fabrics, as disposable products, are not only convenient to use, safe and hygienic, but also can effectively prevent bacterial infection and iatrogenic cross infection.
The fibers used in the production of non-woven fabrics are mainly polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET). In addition, there are nylon (PA), viscose fiber, acrylic fiber, ethylene fiber (HDPE), and chlorine fiber (PVC), among which hydrophilic non-woven fabrics are mainly used in the production of medical and health materials to obtain better hand feel and avoid scratching the skin. For example, sanitary napkins and sanitary pads use the hydrophilic function of hydrophilic non-woven fabrics.
