dc.description.abstractSurgical gowns are worn to protect both patients and the surgical team from contamination during an operation. They were initially manufactured from cotton fabrics, while modern gowns use various types of woven and non-woven fabrics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thermal comfort properties of the different fabrics that are used in the manufacture of surgical gowns. Eight commercially available surgical gown fabrics were evaluated in this study. Three of the fabrics were nonwoven(Spunlace, SMS, Spun - bond), and five of the fabrics were woven(100% cotton; 50% polyester - 50% cotton; 65% polyester - 35% cotton; 66% polyester - 33% cotton - 1% carbon; 99% polyester - 1% carbon).The thermal conductivity, thermal absorption, and thermal resistance values were measured with Alambeta thermal comfort testing equipment. The thickness of each of the fabrics was measured to investigate the correlation between thermal resistance and thickness.The data obtained from this research were evaluated statistically.en_US
