What is medical nonwovens? What material does medical and health nonwovens use? Medical nonwovens are mainly disposable products, which must be used for treatment and diagnosis, and also for medical protective clothing, incontinence products, shell surgery and ward use. This product became a commodity with good market and short supply in the period of SARS in 2003.

Guangdong, with a developed non-woven industry, has independently researched and developed disposable medical protective clothing, which has been approved by the provincial drug supervision and has become one of the enterprises in the same industry in China. However, the raw materials of medical non-woven fabrics still rely on imports, and the inability to produce raw materials independently has brought certain difficulties to the prevention and treatment of SARS in China. Only in the first half of 2003, the domestic production capacity of spunlace and spunbond increased by more than 40%. SARS has promoted the development of all kinds of medical protective equipment for isolation clothing and masks, and successively launched the melt blown nonwovens and spunbond, melt blown composite nonwovens SMS, SMMs isolation clothing and masks, spunbond nonwovens and TPU moisture permeable membranes, as well as various microporous and breathable membrane composite products. In the year of SARS, the total consumption of medical non-woven fabrics increased by 13% over the previous year.
