Surgical Clothing and Drapes

Performance requirements for surgical clothing and drapes




Surgical drapes, including the intended use as a sterile field, and surgical gowns are used to minimize the spread of infective agents to and from patients’ operating wounds, thereby helping to prevent postoperative wound infections


Resistance to wet bacterial penetration, ISO 22610
This test determines the resistance of a material to the penetration of bacteria from a dry surface through a material by the combined effect of friction, pressure and wetting . The pressure is intended to mimic the type of pressure exerted by a surgeon's elbow during a procedure and was developed specifically to measure the penetration by bacteria through operation materials of reusable or single-use material.

Resistance to dry bacterial penetration, ISO 22612

Dry bacterial penetration is a test method that was designed to simulate the penetration of bacteria-carrying skin scales through fabrics. This test provides a means for assessing the resistance to penetration through barrier materials of bacteria-carrying particles.

Synthetic Blood / Viral Penetration for Liquid Barriers, ASTM F1670 (ISO 16603) / ASTM F1671 (ISO 16604)

The test method is used to evaluate the resistance of materials used in medical protective textiles to penetration by synthetic blood or blood-borne pathogens using Phi-X174 bacteriophage under conditions of continuous liquid contact.
