Increasing usage of protective clothing in the medical sector to prevent transmission of viruses, Escalating Demand For Protective Clothing:
The demand for protective clothing is increasing in the medical sector, owing to its properties for preventing the transmission of viruses such as COVID-19, Ebola, and others. Protective clothing is a barrier between infectious materials such as viral and bacterial contaminants.
There has been a surge in demand for protective clothing since the COVID-19 pandemic. Health professionals are on the front lines of any epidemic response, therefore they are exposed to dangers that put them at risk of contracting an outbreak pathogen. The World Health Organization (WHO) notified industries and government bodies across the globe to increase the manufacturing of protective clothing by 40% to meet rising global demand. Since the commencement of the COVID-19 epidemic, UNICEF has been conducting ongoing assessments of the impact on sourcing vital and strategic supplies, particularly those utilized in the disease response, such as personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE items are used by frontline healthcare workers in the response and the equipment includes surgical face masks, N95 respirators, gowns, face shields, coveralls, and gloves.
The demand for protective clothing will likely increase as the COVID-19 pandemic continues and new variants of the virus emerge. Increasing concerns regarding viral diseases are expected to increase the demand for protective clothing over the forecast period. For instance, the CDC’s estimates of hospitalizations and deaths associated with the 2022–2023 influenza season are a reminder that influenza viruses can cause severe disease and death.
Manufacturers face difficulties in selecting materials to produce protective clothing to meet consumer demand:
Fabric qualities may be exceedingly complicated to anticipate. Textile fabrics are made up of a succession of yarns created from fibers that interact with one another in various ways. The constituent fiber or yarn qualities, weave or knit patterns, and geometry of yarn and fabric structures all influence the overall material attributes.
When selecting materials, keep the stresses and strains that the working body will put on the textiles in view. Some requirements common to all functional clothes are that they should be resistant concerning abrasion, and cuts, and protect against microbes, hazardous chemical substances, UV, fire, and others.
Owing to this, various protective clothing manufacturers are continuously focusing on research to reach customer demand while being in the same standard. As a result, innovative fibers with special properties, special fabric, web-forming technologies, and developments in chemical and mechanical finishes make high-performance textiles an important element of functional clothing design.
For instance, according to Superior Glove™, one of the leading Manufacturers and wholesale suppliers of Work and safety Gloves and arm Sleeves, comfort remains one of the biggest issues facing workers today. This covers the materials utilized in the manufacture of PPE, as well as the size possibilities for gloves and other PPE. Wearing comfortable PPE can be the difference between workers opting to protect themselves and remaining exposed to injury. Many materials used to manufacture higher-rated PPE are bulky and less breathable, resulting in stiffness and discomfort. Such materials can cause limited mobility and heat stress. As a result, providing comfortable and high-level protection in breathable and thinner shells is becoming increasingly crucial for workers who want to fulfill their responsibilities without sacrificing comfort or mobility.
