Knowledge of medical textile

What are medical textiles?

 

Medical textiles are a new field formed by the combination of textile technology and medical science. It is one of the most innovative and high-tech varieties of textiles.

With the development of new fibers and the research and development of new manufacturing processes for yarns and fabrics, medical textiles are tested by textile testing equipment also moving towards new application areas.

 

What is the scope of medical textiles?

 

The existing medical textiles in the international market include: absorbent pads, wound contact cloth basic materials, simple bandages and elastic bandages, high support bandages, compression bandages, orthopedic bandages, adhesive plasters, gauze bandages, cotton flannel, medical bedding and skeleton materials, etc. In addition to the traditional bulk raw materials such as cotton, the raw materials for the production of the above-mentioned medical textiles have been expanded to natural fiber raw materials such as alginic acid fiber, silk, chitin fiber, wood pulp fiber, cotton lint, etc. Ethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene fiber, polypropylene, polyester, glass fiber, viscose fiber, polyglycolic acid fiber, polyurethane, polylactic acid fiber and other elastic and non-elastic chemical fiber raw materials.


If divided according to the application of the product, it can usually be divided into the following categories:

 

(1) General hospital supplies

 

Such as work clothes, hospital gowns, bed sheets, cover sheets, mattresses, bedding, blankets, towels, masks, footwear, pillowcases, curtains, table cloths, wipe cloths, etc.

 

(2) External medical supplies

 

Such as medical tape, cotton swabs, cotton balls, gauze, bandages, band-aids, absorbent cotton, dressing cloth, tape base cloth, wound dressing, plaster cloth, hemostatic fiber, etc.

 

(3) Medical functional products

 

Such as surgical sutures, hemostatic fibers, artificial blood vessels, artificial skin, artificial hair, artificial respirators, artificial kidneys, artificial lungs, artificial livers, artificial bones and artificial joints, artificial tendons, artificial heart valves and repair fabrics, hernia repair fabrics , Plasma separator, fiber-reinforced artificial bone plate, surgical reinforced mesh and joint materials, surgical plastic and repair materials, etc.

 

(4) Medical protective equipment

 

Such as surgical gowns, surgical caps, masks, surgical covering cloths, surgical instrument covering cloths, inspectors' clothes and gloves, X-ray operation clothes and gloves, etc.

 

(5)Health products

 

Such as correction belts, restraint belts, corsets, corrective garments, elastic shoulder pads, wrist pads, knee pads, waist pads, etc.


(6) Hygiene products

 

Such as sanitary napkins, sanitary napkins, tampons, children's diapers, adult incontinence pads, medical paper products, antibacterial socks, antibacterial insoles, deodorant socks, deodorant insoles, etc. 


(7) Textiles for medical devices and instruments

 

Such as wheelchairs, crutches, stretchers, carts and other medical equipment made of glass fiber, metal fiber, ceramic fiber, carbon fiber and other reinforced composite materials and elastic fibers; stethoscopes and X-ray diagnostic equipment composed of optical fibers and medical filter separation fibers , Blood separators, bacteria separators and other medical and health inspection facilities and instruments.

 

The main uses and technical parameters of the medical textile airflow resistance tester:

 

Medical textile resistance tester is used to measure the air penetration resistance of textiles, cotton wool, space cotton, etc., to identify the comfort and hygiene of clothing, textiles, especially medical textiles.

 

Technical parameters:

 

1. Air flow adjustment range: 10L/min-100L/min (600L/h-6000L/h)

 

2. Measuring range of airflow resistance: 0-1kPa

 

3. Test time: 1 second to 99 hours optional

 

4. Power supply: AC220V, 50Hz

 

5. Power of the whole machine: 1.2KW

 

Main features:

 

1. The instrument consists of a gas source that can adjust the flow rate, a sample holding device, and a gas pressure measurement system;

 

2. Digital display of airflow resistance, with functions of zero point correction and accuracy correction;

 

3. Easy to operate.

How to Hang a Suspended Ceiling From Steel Beams

The suspended ceiling hangs under the roof or floor structure above, hiding ugly mechanical and electrical equipment from the view, while also allowing you to easily reach these equipment as needed.While wooden frames usually support such ceilings, in rooms where metal frames are used instead of traditional wood, you can also hang ceilings from steel beams.Hanging the ceiling from the beam requires you to use a special clip to connect the support line to the beam without compromising its structural integrity.Measure 4 inch down from the bottom of the lowest beam, pipe or pipe in the ceiling space.If you plan to use panel fluorescent lamps in your ceiling, add an additional 2 inch to this measurement.Make a mark on the wall indicating the location of the facade.Set up a laser level to extend the mark you made on the wall to the entire wall length.Draw a chalk line on the wall to mark the position.Mark all four walls repeatedly with chalk lines indicating the height of the ceiling.Instal

Importance of Calibration Service, Material Testing

When it comes to Calibration services, genuine service providers offer full recall system and data sheets for all items calibrated. Service needs to be instrument specific. With the advent of technology, Calibration service has seen a tremendous change and has gone through various phases to get the top quality. Calibration is a great deal for industrial purpose. It makes sure that products are manufactured as per specification. It also checks the competence level of technically valid results. The calibrated measuring instrument helps in checking the quality and valuation of the product. In cases of electronic equipment, it is essential to calibrate instruments to keep a check on quality and performance. Calibration facilitates in improving measurement abilities. Calibration service can be manual or automated.  textile testing equipment manufacturers Material Testing machines are available for a wide variety of industries including materials testers for plastics, textiles, adhesives, fi

Level Measurement Solutions

Makeup water treatment is an important component of steam generation. It is the means to resupply the system with water suitable for boiler and other operations that, was lost in the cycle.The steam generation cycle, level control for the water treatment process is not necessarily about efficiency, but rather, accuracy, reliability and safety, while providing proper inventory management to ensure chemical and makeup water supply meets demand. The focus is on the chemical component of the makeup water treatment since it presents difficulties for level technologies that may work perfectly on non-chemical applications related to the water treatment process or those with limited variations in the contents of the vessel's vapor space. Although important measurements such as ammonia, acid, caustic and other chemical storage tanks are not difficult level applications by any stretch, small nuances in how the vessels are monitored relative to level technology can have a dramatic effect on t
