摘要:
A medical gown and drape are disclosed in which regions thereof are imprinted with performance enhancing coatings. The gown has regions in the chest and sleeve areas imprinted with a liquid repellent coating to protect the wearer from fluids. The drape preferably has an absorbent or super absorbent coating surrounding a fenestration through which an operation may occur. The drape may also have regions coated with water repellent or friction enhancing materials. The gown further has adhesive closures rather than ties.

An improved surgical gown is provided which has, at its central operative field and the operative zones of the sleeves, a liquid repellent, moisture vapor transmitting material, an inner layer of a breathable material, and an intermediate layer of a liquid proof material interposed therebetween.
摘要:
A liquid impermeable barrier fabric which resists penetration of liquids under finite hydraulic heads and maintains that capable after upwards of 75 institutional washing/sterilization cycles. The barrier fabric istructurally characterized by a silicone membrane attached to a fabric substrate. The substrate is a tightly woven fabric which is constructed of polyester yarns. Attachment of the membrane to the fabric substrate by a bonding mechanism in which the silicone material is in intimate contact with a substantial portion of the looped portions of the yarn, which define the surface of the fabric. This bonding mechanism also includes hydrophilicity of the yarn surfaces with which the silicone is in intimate contact. The fabric is treated with a hydrophilic finish to provide this aspect of the bonding mechanism. This barrier fabric is provided through the use of coating/calendaring apparatus. A film of highly viscous, uncured silicone is formed with a Mooney viscosity of 45 and then pressed between rollers, into a fabric web, to attain the referenced intimate contact. The silicone is then cured.
摘要:
A launderable cloth-like product for surgical use and method of making same are provided wherein such product has a plurality of layers comprising at least a portion thereof with the plurality of layers comprising a bottom layer and a top layer each made of woven material and the layers are suitably fastened together. The top layer is made with warps and wefts in a plain weave with each of the warps and wefts being made of a blend of natural material and synthetic material and a coating on the top layer defines the outside surface thereof. The coating has hydrophobic properties such that the top layer when new and with the coating thereon is substantially impermeable to water flow therethrough prior to laundering thereof and when subjecting the outside surface to a hydrostatic water pressure generally of the order of 50 pounds per square inch gauge.

摘要:
A technique and apparatus for increased sensitivity fluorescence and luminescence emission measurements in which the emission volume is enclosed in a closely fitting cavity having highly reflecting diffuse material inner walls, and with a detector viewing as much of the radiant cavity walls as possible.
摘要:
A pack of laundered, folded and sterilized articles and method of packaging same are provided wherein such articles have at least one band disposed in encircling relation around the pack and holding same in a compact manner wherein the band has overlapping fused end portions and such band is made of a material which does not contaminate the pack.
摘要:
Reusable, launderable, sterilizable medical barrier fabric tightly woven from 100% polyester fiber constructed of polyester yarn of from 50 to 150 denier, the sum of the ends and picks of at least 100 per linear inch, is treated with a flame-resistant, water repellent, antimicrobial finish. Medical garments, wraps and like sterilizable articles constructed of this fabric retain their desirable properties after repeated institutional launderings and/or steam sterilizations.
摘要:
A launderable cloth product having an antitheft device attached thereto, antitheft device for such product, and method of making each are provided in which the device is capable of interrupting magnetic a sensing field upon passing the product with its attached device through the field wherein the device comprises an inner member made of a magnetically detectable material and a dual-purpose cover member serving to encapsulate the inner member while serving to attach the device to a particular part of the product by fusion and the fusion requires substantial damage to the part in order to remove the device from the product.
