Re-cyclex Surgical Gowns have been developed over a three year period with the latest state of the art technology to offer the most advanced protective gear for the heath workers. |
Traditionally, surgeons gowns were constructed from cotton.
Researchers noted that bacteria could easily pass from patient to the health worker.
A practical comfortable barrier fabric was required
Today Re-cyclex has the answer
A woven barrier fabric containing polyester microfiber, finished with
suitable physical and chemical finishes to provide the balance between
comfort and performance.
Fluid Barrier
The Re-cyclex fabric is treated to repel fluids. Fluid strike through
may be measured in terms of water pressure, expressed as a water column
height in millimeters. The Re-cyclex fabric exhibits typical values of
greater than 250mm mercury pressure.
Anti-microbial Finish based on Nano Silver Technology
Silver ions control bacteria by means of various mechanisms:
- Blocking oxygen-transporting enzymes, where oxygen is required for cell function
- Locking the cell membrane, studies have indicated that the use of metal salts render the cell membrane inactive, so "suffocating" the microbe.
- Our Nano Silver treated textiles are non-leaching. This makes it safe to wear against the skin.
Lint-Free
Re-cyclex™ gowns are made from continuous filaments, which prevent
linting. Spun yarns are formed by twisting together short fibres creating a
hairy appearance. These short fibres are called linters and can come free
during wearing, potentially causing infections.
Re-cyclex gowns are lint- free.
Breathability
Traditional cotton are virtually porous and polyethylene films and
rubber-coated textiles are not breathable.
Breathability is measured by the airflow of the fabric at a set pressure.
The re-cyclex barrier fabric offers the best of both worlds: it has porosity
and sufficient breathability to ensure maximum comfort.
