Abstract
The aim of this paper is to determine the influence of the washing and sterilization process in real hospital conditions on the microbial barrier properties of textile laminate used in medicine for protective clothing. The paper focuses on the functional design of three-layer laminate for medical footwear in surgery and in rooms where aseptic working conditions are required. The permeability and durability of the microbial barrier were determined after 0, 10 and 20 washing and sterilization procedures according to previously developed meth¬ods. Bacterial endospores of apathogenic species of the genera Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus atrophaeus were used. A functional design of the protective shoe cover was proposed. The results showed an extremely effective microbial barrier and the durability of the sample after 0, 10 and 20 washing and sterilization procedures, and over a period of one, two and three months.
Highlights
Textile laminate is a two- or multi-layer textile material that is connected with a polymer layer to form a whole
The number of microorganisms on the surface represents the number of microorganisms remaining on the surface of the sample after bacterial endospores of pathogenic species of the genus Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus atrophaeus were rubbed with a stick
This paper investigates the efficiency of the microbial barrier of textile PES/PU/PES laminate with respect to washing stability and the sterilization process
Summary
Textile laminate is a two- or multi-layer textile material that is connected with a polymer layer to form a whole. The. Characteristics, Protection and Functional Design of Three-Layer Laminate for Medical Footwear laminate properties are a combination of the properties of the base fabric and the polymer layer. Characteristics, Protection and Functional Design of Three-Layer Laminate for Medical Footwear laminate properties are a combination of the properties of the base fabric and the polymer layer The result of such a combination provides many properties that the individual components cannot provide. The function of medical textiles is often to protect against bacteria and viruses originating from staff and patients They must be free of toxic ingredients, maintain integrity and durability, and withstand the physical conditions of standard stress during use [2, 12]. The aim of this research was to determine the influence of washing and sterilization on the permeability and durability of the microbial barrier of a three-layer laminate PES (woven fabric)/PU/PES (knitted fabric) for strong and durable medical footwear. The aim of this work was to create a functional design of a three-layer laminate for medical footwear
