Definition of gauze density
Gauze density is the amount of yarn or yarn fabric in an area per unit length (1 inch=2.45cmx2.45cm). This is usually expressed as "threads per inch" (TP). The more yarn, the higher the density of the gauze.The more yarn,the higher quality of the gauze.Has directly affects the texture and use of the gauze.
Density: refers to the number of warp and weft threads arranged per square inch, also known as warp and weft density. Generally, it is expressed by "number of warp threads * number of weft threads". Several common densities such as 30*20,26*18,19*15, indicating that the warp per square inch is 30,26,19; The weft yarn is 20,18,15.
The quality of the fabric is good or bad according to density, that is, the number of yarn counts and warp and weft density, the finer the yarn counts, the higher the density, generally speaking, the more density the higher quality,the better the firmness, the better the fabric quality.
High-density: refers to the sum of warp and weft yarn in the fabric unit square inch ≥180. (The concept of yarn count and density has been introduced above!) Width: refers to the effective width of the fabric, the width between the outermost warp on both sides of the fabric. So, it is necessary to test everyone, 110 "60×40/173×120 what does it mean? a. 110 "refers to the fabric width, 110 inches (110×2.54=279.4cm); b.60×40 refers to fabric yarn, the warp yarn is 60s yarn, the weft yarn is 40s yarn; c. 173×120 refers to the fabric density, the first number refers to the warp density of 173 per inch, the second number refers to the weft density of 120 per inch.
How the density of gauze impact on medical gauze?
In the medical field, gauze is a common medical supplies, used for wound dressings, surgical dressings and so on. The density of gauze has an important impact on its application in the medical environment.
1. Strength of gauze
The higher the density of the gauze, the tighter the yarn, and the stronger it is. In the medical environment, a lot of dressing and dressing work is often required, and high-density gauze can better withstand these jobs and reduce the possibility of breakage.
2. Water absorption of gauze
In a medical setting, the gauze needs to have good water absorption properties in order to be able to better absorb the patient's body fluids and other secretions. However, if the density is too low, the water absorption of the gauze will become poor. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable density gauze. In general, the higher the density of the gauze, the better the water absorption.
3. Air permeability of gauze
High gauze density may lead to decreased permeability of the gauze, which may cause discomfort to the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a moderate density under the premise of ensuring strength and water absorption.
Third, how to choose the appropriate medical gauze density
When selecting medical gauze, it is necessary to select the appropriate density according to the specific situation. For most people, the density of 17 to 20 gauze is the ideal choice, it has enough strength, but also has high water absorption and permeability.
Of course, in special cases, such as surgery, in order to ensure the smooth and safe surgical process, it may be necessary to choose a higher density of gauze. When choosing gauze, you should consult a doctor or medical staff to choose the most suitable gauze.
【 Conclusion】
Gauze density is an important factor affecting the strength, water absorption and air permeability of gauze. In the medical field, choosing the appropriate gauze density is very important. It is necessary to choose the most appropriate gauze density under the premise of taking into account strength, water absorption and air permeability, in order to provide better medical services for patients.
