Product type
Medical nonwoven fabric is a specialized textile material designed for use in healthcare applications. It is made from synthetic or natural fibers that are bonded together through various methods, such as heat, chemical, or mechanical processes. This fabric is typically lightweight, breathable, and provides a barrier against fluids and contaminants, making it ideal for medical use.
| Material | Polypropylene, polyester, or a blend |
| Weight | 30 to 120 grams per square meter (gsm) |
| Thickness | 0.5 to 3 millimeters |
| Breathability | High, allowing moisture vapor transmission |
| Barrier properties | Fluid-resistant and microbial barrier |
| Color | Typically white or blue, but can be dyed |
When selecting medical nonwoven fabric, consider the specific application and required properties, such as fluid resistance, breathability, and microbial barrier effectiveness. Specify the desired weight and thickness based on the intended use. It is also important to inquire about certifications related to medical standards, such as ISO or ASTM, depending on regulatory requirements in your region.
