Development of high-performance hypodermic needle penetration resistance flexible cotton fabric using patterned thermoplastic adhesive film
Abstract
Injuries caused by needle stick puncture are common and a concern in many industries, such as health services and waste collection. Personal protection against needle stick punctures currently use high-cost materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) woven fabric and Kevlar which compromises flexibility. In this paper, a low-cost, easy to produce, needle puncture resistant material is developed. Here, cotton fabric is overlaid by patterned …
