Introduction of commonly used medical fabrics
We know that healthcare workers usually need to wear white coats, nurse's uniforms, surgical gowns, etc. You recognize the appearance of these clothes, but do you know what fabrics medical clothing is made of? We simply divide them into two categories, natural fabrics and non-natural fabrics.
Natural fabrics include cotton, linen, silk, wool, and leather. But the only natural fabric used as medical clothing is cotton, as the other four are so far apart in price and practicality. Cotton, being the most common natural fabric, over 50% of all garments is made of cotton fabrics. Surgical gowns and scrubs made from cotton are soft and comfortable, moisture-absorbing, breathable and durable.
In our stereotypical impression, we always assume that natural fabrics are better than non-natural fabrics. In fact, most healthcare clothing on the market today are made of non-natural fabrics, which means that non-natural fabrics have their advantages. The non-natural fabrics used in medical clothing are generally synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, spandex. In general, these chemical fiber fabrics are colorful, soft, drapey, smooth and comfortable. In addition to being used as medical fabrics, they can also be used as ordinary fabrics.
Fabric determines the texture of the garment, even if it is the medical clothing, it should pay attention to the texture and practicality. Because good fabrics make doctors and nurses appear to be spiritually refreshing, thus enhancing the confidence of patients in healthcare workers.
