1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 NONWOVENS: The use of nonwoven for medical purposes goes all the way back to WWII (World War II), which precipitated a big demand for easily deployed medical products. As the technology gradually improved, nonwovens proved to be a superior to woven products in terms of disposability, adaptability, effectiveness and cost. It is possible to dispose of potentially contaminated items, nonwovens provided effective barriers against bacteria. They were also better than linens for air-borne contamination reduction 2. OBJECTIVES: 1. To produce health hygiene2. To produce disposable surgical gown3. To produce surgical medical head cap4. To survey the usage of natural finished surgical

medical products in hospitals 5. To incense the medical sense towards natural

finished garments 6. To collect the testimony report on the disposable

mask, surgical medical glousegown

2.1 NONWOVEN IN MEDICAL

APPLICATIONS: Nonwoven have a well established reputation for conforming to the special needs/demands of medical textiles as it contains � Uncanny effectiveness and efficiency � High performance (vapour transmission, air

permeability, comfort, feel etc.� Superior barrier providing capacity � Excellent user protection (high tearing & abrasion

resistance) � Unbeatable wound caring (a

delivery devices, bandages� Well documented usage in ICU, labs, operating

rooms etc.

2.2 KEY CHARACTERISTIC OF NONWOVEN FABRIC:

� Dimensional stability � Strength � Durability � Resilience � Low elongation � Porosity level controlled based on specif

processing The value of non-woven fabrics in an implantable medical device include: � High degree of tissue in-growth � Controlled permeability � Low degree of elongation � Absorbency 3. GARMENT FINISHING: In garment finishing is applied once the garment is fully made, it is used to improve its appearance, feel and other properties. 3.1 ANTIBACTERIAL FINISH: A treatment to reduce the growth of bacteria and to kill the bacteria by the application of finishing agent(vetiver) 3.2 VETIVER: (VETIVERIA ZIZANIOIDES) Vetiverira derived from theTamil word VETIVER meaning “root that is dung out” and zizanioides means “by river side”. As the name indicates, it is most commonly found along the water beds. Vetiver is a tall, tufted, perennial, scented grass, with a straight stem, long narrow leaves and erect culms up to 2 meters height and over 2.5 meters with flower head. Vetiver oil is used in traditional medicine and perfumery since ancient times.

4. METHODOLOGY: Identification of antibacterial finishing agent

Extraction of roots

Pad dry cure finish

4.1 PAD DRY CURE TECHNIQUE:Pad dry cure or exhaust dry cry is a finishing process applied to textiles to impart different finish treatments, such as waterproofing, softening, antibacterial or anti odor finishes. The garment is passed through a water based solution bath containing the finishing chemicals.

The above disposable face mask is made from nonwoven fabric, mesh fabric as the main raw material. This material is preferred for its light weight. It has excellent water repellence and air permeability resulting in providing comfort & dryness resulting in antibacterial and antifungal resistance by nature. 4.2 SOURCE AND DESCRIPTION:� Sourcing of vetiver root and making it into the

DISEASE CONTAMINATION: Surgical face mask are intended to be used in order to help or prevent large particles expelled by the wearer (e.g. spit, mucous) from reaching the patient or work environment. Vetiver finished surgical masks are good resistance towards bacteria and acts a barrier to kill bacteria. It helps to prevent the bacteria that we inhale through our mouth and nose. 2). SURGICAL MEDICAL GOWN: Surgical gowns are used by doctors and nurses as protective clothing in the operation theatre to prevent the spread of bacteria from patients to surgical staand therefore, reduce the incidence of hoacquired infections. All humanblood and other body fluids are treated as infectious to human health;acarrier and transport the bacteria through the fabric, which can cause serious ill-ness or deathsurgical procedures, surgeons may be exposed to sprays ofblood or other body fluids containing pathogens. Several researchers have reported acorrelation between wetting by liquids and bacterial penetration of surgical drape and gownsworkers' uniforms including surgical gowns are used as barriers to eliminate the risk of infection for both doctor and patient. The prevalence ofimmunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B and C viruses in the patient population is very common.

These Nonwoven Surgical Caps are made as per the requirements of Health &Medical Care industry. Nonwoven Surgical caps helps cover the entand scalp area. As the hair and scalp area contain large area of micro-organisms and these bacteria when released during surgical procedure can be problematic. This head cap is the most effective way to ensure hygiene.

RESULT: Thus the three nonwoven surgical products are given antibacterial finish using vetiver and testing reportsanalysed for colour fastness towards washing and colour fastness towards light and getting a testimony report from a medical surgeons. The Colour fastness rates 4 to 5 so it comes under good grade of colour fastness rating. The products are analysed and rare tested for its colours fastness towards washing and light. Testimony report is certified from the medical surgeon with the objective questionnaires analysis type and the survey is exciquited. 6. CONCLUSION: In this study, antibacterial property of vetiver is identified and finishing is applied to the nonwoven surgical products, as the surgical products contains more amount of bacteria from the hospitals and surrounding atmosphere due to contact of patients.
