In the medical industry, there are extremely stringent requirements for the safety, functionality and reliability of materials. Medical grade spunlace nonwovens stand out from many other medical materials due to their excellent properties, and are key materials for ensuring the smooth running of medical processes and protecting patients' health.
Medical grade spunlace is carefully manufactured using advanced spunlace technology. During the production process, the high-pressure water flow is like a pair of precise ‘skillful hands’, which tightly winds and intertwines the fibres together. This unique process makes the fibres evenly distributed, forming a stable and fine structure. At the same time, the raw materials selected are strictly screened to ensure that they meet medical-grade standards, guaranteeing product quality from the source. Compared with the production process of ordinary nonwoven fabrics, the hydroentanglement process of medical-grade hydroentanglement nonwoven fabrics is more delicate, which can effectively remove impurities and provide the product with a higher degree of purity, thus providing a solid foundation for medical applications.
Medical grade spunlace nonwovens have excellent hygiene properties. Their fine fibre structure effectively prevents the penetration of microorganisms and greatly reduces the risk of cross-infection. In hospital environments, where microorganisms are ubiquitous, the use of medical grade spunlace nonwovens in medical supplies, such as surgical towels and wound dressings, builds a reliable protective barrier for patients and healthcare workers. For example, surgical towels are in direct contact with the surgical area, and their good microbial barrier properties can prevent external bacteria from entering the wound and ensure safe surgery.
Water absorbency and water retention are critical in medical care. Medical grade hydroentangled nonwoven fabrics can quickly absorb wound exudate or other liquids, keeping wounds dry and facilitating wound healing. At the same time, it also has good water retention properties and can maintain a moist environment for a long period of time, which is very suitable for some treatment scenarios that require a wet dressing. For example, in the burns department, dressings made of medical-grade hydroentangled nonwoven fabrics can quickly absorb exudate from burn wounds to avoid wound infection, while keeping the wound moist and promoting tissue repair.
Medical grade hydroentangled nonwoven fabrics are extremely soft and gentle on the patient's skin. This softness is especially important for patients with sensitive skin or when prolonged contact with medical supplies is required. In baby care, for example, baby wipes made from medical grade hydroentangled nonwovens can effectively clean the delicate skin of babies without causing skin damage, so that babies can enjoy a comfortable care experience.
Medical grade spunlace nonwoven fabrics are widely used in the medical field. In addition to the above-mentioned surgical towels, wound dressings and baby care products, they are also commonly used in the production of medical masks, isolation suits, disinfection towels and so on. During the epidemic prevention and control period, medical masks and isolation suits made of medical grade spunlace nonwoven fabrics provide important protection for healthcare workers and the general public. The filter layer of medical masks is made of medical-grade spunlace, which can effectively filter droplets and germs in the air; while isolation suits make use of their waterproof and antibacterial properties to protect healthcare workers from viruses and bacteria.
