Content Summary
- Number of Production Corporations of all kinds of medical
materials and protective clothes in China reaches thousands
- Disposable medical protective clothes produced in China occupy
60% of the world production
- Operating coats produced per year reach about 50 million, mask
reach 1 billion
- China has been a production base of disposable protective
clothes in world
- PGI、K-C and so on these famous corporations have established
many factories in China
- Domestic corporations are mainly middle-small size
- Domestic products are mainly for export

1、 General production situation of
Chinese medical textiles
- Population of China reach 1.3billion,
hospitals of different levels reach ten
thousands
- Usage level of medical protective products is
low
- Divisions using these products are few
Most divisions (including operating room) still use cotton coats
and gauze masks, parts of operating room, infectious disease
areas and Intensive Care rooms use disposable or emergency
protective clothes
Application of medical protective products in Chinese hospitals
2、Usage of Chinese medical
textiles in China
- Used amount of protective products in 3
grade hospitals(average number per person
per year):
use amount of protective products:480yuan
gloves:disposable 250 pairs+latex110 pairs
mask:disposable 120+gauze12个+N95 mask 0.2
protective clothes: disposable 6pieces+cotton 2 pieces
eye protective glasses:0.5
face mask: 0.2
2、Usage of Chinese medical textiles
in China
- Chinese hygiene management departments process government
license rule for medicine
- Chinese hygiene management departments process “three
licenses” management for medical instruments
production corporation license
hygiene license
medical instruments register license
- Only products with “three licenses” register have qualification to
enter into hospitals
- Registration is carried out by hygiene departments and medical
instrument bureaus, and published by State medical supervision
bureau
Market demands of medical protective products in China
2、Usage of Chinese medical textiles
in China
- Masknormal gauze mask, traditional products, large use amount
disposable nonwoven mask, mainly used at surgery, operation
medical protective mask, mainly are N95, seldom used
- Ordinary medical protective working clothes
normal pure cotton, polyester/cotton gown, very large use
Main medical protective products used in Chinese hospitals
2、Usage of Chinese medical textiles
in China
- Operating clothesnormal pure cotton、polyester/cotton with water proof finishing,
most commonly used
disposable nonwoven fabrics, small use, not reaches 3%
- Emergency medical protective clotheswith water proof, blood penetration proof, alcohol proof, air
insulation and so on these functions
disposable:nonwoven and water proof film compound material,
mainly used at infectious disease areas
repeatable:woven and water proof film several layers
compounded, mainly used for P3、 P4 grade protection such as
high danger places and labs.
2、Usage of Chinese medical textiles
in China
- Gloves
latex gloves
checking gloves
- Eye protective glasses
2、Usage of Chinese medical textiles
in China
- China has not established protection system with
clear classification and direct rules.
- Hospitals have not established perfect protective
rules yet
- Hospitals buy protective goods by themselves
- Purchase departments do not have good link with
departments that use the PPE, demands of products
are not clear
- Only “three licenses” are checked when hospital
purchase, which could not mean quality for sure.
Purchase of medical protective products by Chinese hospitals
2、Usage of Chinese medical textiles
in China
- Basic standards for protective products have
been published
- Standards of medical protective products
have not been systemic enough
- There is urgency to publish them
- They try to be closer to standards and rules of
European/America
