dc.description.abstractBacteria’s and other hazardous substances are produced onto the surgical gowns during various surgical operations. These undesirable substances cause problems for the medical staff and the patients as well. For avoiding the production of bacteria’s and avoid the absorption of liquid con-taminations, the surgical gown fabric is given both the antibacterial and fluid repellent treatment. Pure cotton fabric is being used due to its properties of high absorbency, high tensile strength, comfort-ability and durability. Three finishes are applied by pad dry-cure method in different concentrations onto the pure cotton fabric which are; antibacterial RUCO-BAC (MED), fluid repellent RUCO-GUARD AFR and Chitosan for achieving the properties of antibacterial, fluid repellency, high strength, comfort-ability and durability. The antimicrobial activity, fluid repel-lency, air permeability, tensile strength and MVTR (moisture vapor transmission rate) of the treated cotton fabric have been evaluated. The finished fabric shows the adequate tensile strength, fluid repellency, air permeability and antibacterial activity.en_US
