At present, the common categories of non-woven fabrics in the market can be divided into two types: ordinary non-woven fabrics and medical non-woven fabrics. Due to their main use in medical fields, they have strict quality requirements. In addition, what are the differences between the two?

1. Antibacterial ability

Since it is a medical non-woven fabric, the primary standard is antibacterial ability. Generally, a three-layer SMmms melt blown layer structure is used, while ordinary medical non-woven fabrics use a single-layer melt blown layer structure. Compared to the two, the three-layer structure must have stronger antibacterial ability. As for non medical ordinary non-woven fabrics, they do not have antibacterial properties due to the lack of a melt blown layer.

2. Suitable for various sterilization methods

Since it has antibacterial ability, it also requires corresponding sterilization ability. High quality medical non-woven fabrics can be suitable for various sterilization methods, including pressure steam, ethylene oxide, and hydrogen peroxide plasma. Ordinary non medical non-woven fabrics cannot be used for multiple sterilization methods.

3. Quality control

Medical non-woven fabrics require certification through relevant product quality control systems, and there are strict standards and requirements for each step of the production process.

The main differences between medical non-woven fabrics and ordinary non-woven fabrics are mainly reflected in these aspects. Each has its own usage and characteristics, and as long as it is selected correctly according to needs during use.
