Redefining the Boundaries of Breathable Technology

Understanding Everyday Protection — The Benchmark for Low-Risk Healthcare Apparel

In low-risk healthcare environments, basic coverage is only the starting point; maintaining reliable protection without compromising comfort is the true benchmark of effective general isolation apparel. During ward rounds, outpatient care, visitor access, and routine laboratory work, prolonged wear can trap heat and moisture inside protective garments. Sleepy Series Viral Barrier addresses this challenge through a breathable microporous PE film laminated with soft nonwoven fabric. The structure helps resist liquids and biological contaminants while allowing moisture vapor to escape, supporting lightweight comfort and dependable protection for visitor gowns, routine-care apparel, laboratory shoe covers, and other general healthcare applications.

FAQ

The MediShieldTM Sleepy Series is specifically designed for low-risk healthcare environments and routine medical use. It is ideal for manufacturing lightweight protective apparel such as general isolation gowns for ward rounds, hospital visitor garments, and laboratory shoe covers where comfortable, everyday barrier protection is required.

The core technology relies on a Microporous Breathable PE (Polyethylene) Film. The engineered micropores in the film are small enough to resist the penetration of external liquids and biological contaminants, yet large enough to allow body-generated moisture vapor to escape. This balance ensures effective fluid barrier properties alongside wearing comfort.

The fabric features a robust 3-layer breathable laminate structure. The outer layer is a lightweight PP (Polypropylene) Spunbond nonwoven providing a protective surface. The middle barrier layer consists of the microporous breathable PE film. The inner layer is also a soft PP Spunbond nonwoven, designed for skin contact and enhanced wearing comfort.

The MediShieldTM General Isolation Fabric is tested and certified to meet AAMI Level 2 and Level 3 standards for liquid barrier performance. Additionally, it complies with EN 14126 related test requirements, providing a verified biological barrier against pathogens suitable for general medical settings.
