Designing the new functional cloth for patients and development of its technological indicators

Abstract

The article covers the research results on designing and producing bedsheet cloth that has high air permeability, which helps to prevent bedsores from appearing on the body of patients lied in bed for a long time, which creates conditions for blood circulation in the patient's body and reduction of long-term high pressure in the part of the skin touching the bedsheet. As a result of the research, using multi-layer complex and single-layer main twisting, a striped cloth with sharply different thicknesses on the surface of the cloth has been developed. In the design of the cloth, 50 tack cotton yarn has been used as the warp, and 25x3 tack modal and cotton yarns has been used as the weft. The thin part of the cloth produced based on the research was 0.7-0.8 mm, and the thick part was 3-4 mm.
