The advantages of SMS nonwovens in medical applications

After sterilization of medical devices, need appropriate packaging materials to packaging, to ensure that can achieve the effect of the resistance of bacteria. The SMS medical non-woven fabric and cotton fabric both in terms of resistance bacteria effect that is better? Cotton is woven cotton yarns. Advantages: easy to obtain, strong adaptability, easy to use, can be repeated use. Disadvantages: cotton suction to microbial channel, it is necessary to use a cleaning, packaging and sterilization after validity of short, microbial barrier sex difference, bacteria or the size of 0. 5 - 5 microns, cotton packing aperture is 40 - 50 microns, cotton cloth after cleaning the local aperture increases, reducing resistance bacteria effect. Also cotton on some small velvet by jitter adhesion in the equipment, or falling on the incision, easy cause iatrogenic infection, combined with the cotton material and the cost of cleaning up, hospital regeneration used in medical equipment production cost also will increase. SMS medical non-woven fabric is a kind of nonwoven fabric, it is directly using polymer slice, short fibers or filament fiber by air flow or machine into the net, and then after hot rolling reinforcing, and then after finishing of woven fabrics. Advantages: high strength, good drapability, allow the exclusion and steam sterilization of air factor through the aperture to form good microbial barrier, do not produce dust with broken fiber, put an end to so the iatrogenic infection, meet the demand of the hospital. Studies have shown that using SMS medical non-woven packaging compared with the traditional cotton class wrapping has ideal sterilization and resistance bacteria effect, supply center spare item category, quantity is big, use frequency is very low bag often by short validity frequently sterilization. USES the disposable non-woven, guarantee the quality of the sterile package and the safety of clinical use, and effectively saves manpower and material resources, medical resources, thus reducing costs, avoid the cotton packaging recycling, rinse, disinfection and bring people in the process of reuse of chore. Reduces the risk of infection, to control the occurrence of hospital infection play a role. SMS medical non-woven fabrics not only can be used for medical device packaging, also can be used for hospital surgical masks, caps, shoe covers, such as the use of, greatly enhance the effect of the resistance of bacteria.
