The role of the disposable protective coverall is to protect individuals from the chemical, physical, and biological hazards that may be encountered when dealing with hazardous substances. Protective coverall has many uses, such as medical, industrial, etc. Here we mainly talk about medical protective coveralls.
1. What Is The Medical Protective Coveralls
2. Materials and Production Process of Medical Protective Coveralls
2.2.1 Specific Designs of Protective Coveralls
3. Standards of Medical Protective Coveralls
4. Precautions for Medical Protective Coveralls
A medical protective coverall is also known as a medical coverall or protective suit, it is a disposable coveralls. During the pandemic outbreak, healthcare workers work with invisible pathogens that could come from any direction. At this point, a protective coverall gives these workers 360 degrees of protection.
The coveralls typically have a hood, boots, and elastic cuffs to provide additional protection. They are a kind of protective coveralls with hood.
Medical protective coveralls can protect healthcare workers from exposure to harmful bacteria and viruses.
Protective clothing is made of various materials, including Polypropylene, Polyethylene, cotton, polyester, etc. Protective clothing protects the wearer from contact with blood, feces, vomit, saliva, and other harmful substances. The clothes also help keep the wearer warm in cold weather conditions.
Medical protective coveralls are typically made from materials that provide a barrier against infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria. Some common materials used for medical protective coveralls include PPSB+ Microporous PE, SMS, PPSB+PE（PP+PE）, and PP.
Non-woven Fabric | Further |
PP | The material can be treated with antimicrobial and antistatic agents to produce antibacterial protective coveralls and antistatic protective clothing. Breathable, dustproof, not waterproof, with good tensile strength and no significant difference between the front and back sides. It is commonly used for general insulation. |
SMS | It can undergo treatments for being resistant to alcohol, blood, and oil, as well as being antistatic, antibacterial, and anti-aging. Its characteristics include small fiber diameter, large surface area, fluffiness, softness, good drape ability, low filtration resistance, high filtration efficiency, and strong water resistance. But it has low strength and poor wear resistance. |
PPSB+ Microporous PE | It has a good effect on blocking bacterial particles and liquid penetration, and the feel can be adjusted by changing the softness of the composite fabric. It has strong tensile strength, good breathability, greatly improved comfort performance, and can withstand disinfection treatment. |
PPSB+PE（PP+PE） | The waterproof and bacteria-blocking properties are excellent and can be reused. But the breathability is poor, and a large amount of sweat from the body cannot be expelled, resulting in poor comfort when worn. |
We have already introduced the materials used for making medical protective clothing. So, what about its production process? We can take a look at the following process flowchart.

PS：
● The main production process of medical protective clothing is divided into three steps: that is the cutting process, the sewing process, and the finishing process.
● A series of equipment such as a cutting machine, pattern-making machine, embroidery machine, sewing machine, overlock machine, and flat sewing machine will be used throughout the production process.
The medical protective suit usually consists of a one-piece structure with a hat, top, and pants. What are the specific designs? We can take a look at the following diagram.
2.2.1.1. Medical protective clothing usually adopts a closed placket design, which means that the internal zipper is closed, and the external adhesive placket is attached by flat-sewing the zipper and
magic tape. This design is easy to wear and take off and fits the body more tightly.
Zipper, Velcro.
2.2.1.2. To make the medical protective suit more fitted, its cuffs, ankle cuffs, and hood are all designed with elastic closures, which can increase the sealing with other protective equipment and prevent dust or liquid from entering from those areas.
Elastic bands on the cuffs, ankles, and hat
2.2.1.3. For the convenience of movement and work and to provide better flexibility in wearing, the waist of protective clothing is usually tightened with elastic rubber using a flat sewing machine to increase work efficiency and safety during use.
Waistband rubber stretching
2.2.1.4. The reason why protective clothing can achieve such a high degree of sealing, in addition to these designs, is inseparable from this most important step. After the machinist sews the protective clothing, it needs to be sealed with a press machine to seal all the thread traces and needle holes in the protective clothing to prevent dust or liquid from entering through the sewn needle holes and enhance the isolation performance and safety of the protective clothing.
Adhesive pressure-sensitive tape
In conclusion, the production of protective coveralls involves the selection of materials, cutting, sewing, bonding, and quality control. These processes ensure that the finished garment is strong, durable, and provides the necessary protection.
Medical protective coveralls are designed to provide full-body protection to healthcare workers and other individuals who may come into contact with infectious substances, chemicals, or other hazardous materials. These coveralls are subject to various standards and regulations to ensure their effectiveness and safety. Some of the standards for medical protective coveralls include performance standards, material standards, design standards, certification standards, and quality control standards.
The performance requirements for protective clothing vary across different countries. Taking China, the United States, and the United Kingdom as examples, we will compare their performance requirements in the table below:
According to the above comparison, China, the United States, and the United Kingdom have different requirements for the performance indicators of medical protective coveralls.
For healthcare workers and others who use medical protective coveralls, choosing clothing that meets these standards to ensure their safety and protection while performing their duties is important.
Proper use and maintenance of protective clothing are essential to safety. It is necessary to confirm that the product is complete before wearing it. According to different use scenarios, wear different levels of protective clothing.
If you are wearing other protective equipment (masks, goggles, etc.), read the product instructions carefully to ensure it fits the other PPE product.
After use, wash or disinfect your hands during the process of taking off protective clothing to avoid contamination.
