Textiles that Isolates from potential Infection are classified as Isolation Drapes/Kits. Sanitizing is a method of curbing Infection; however such termination of pathogens may lead to formation of Multiple Drug Resistant pathogens, if handled ineptly.

Excessive colonization of microbes would lead to Infection. Microbes are invisible enemies and its source of infection is still enigmatic. Air-conditioners, linens, Instruments, doctors, nurses or patients (either Out/In-patients) are carriers infection.

Fabrics isolating in operation theatre (OT/ OR fabrics), ICUs or Critical wards or general wards have grades based on criticality. Textiles have barrier properties where it can hold back pathogens while providing air-circulation. The textiles can be washed (Reuse textiles) or even Incinerated (disposables) after single use. This curbs further contamination like that of the air, water or patients.

Disposal of the Disposables have environmental issues while reuse textiles can that of contamination and infection. The appropriate choice is subjective decision of each hospital.


Hospital acquired infection (HAI) is a phenomena which has consumed many valuable resources like effort, time, energy, money & reputation. Hospitals are on high guard to manage phenomena's like SUPERBUGS/DRUG RESISTANT PATHOGENS. The negative consequences of HAI is excess hospital cost, health & sometime life. Infections are traditionally blocked with woven fabrics used as isolation drapes. The traditional drapes are washed & sanitized with steam for reuse. Today the lack of uncontaminated water, skilled labour combined with excess patient turnover & cost of time-material management but still running the risk of infection have been forced to look up at Disposals non-woven.

DISPOSALS are advanced engineered textiles offering:

  • Single use system
  • Intrinsic barrier technology
  • Cleaner hospital management protocols
  • Reduced patient stay
  • Reduced drug consumption for Infection Control
  • Reduced threat of SUPER BUGS
  • Reduced cost in achieving 'virtual Zero Infection'

Splendour Medicare Technologies has innovated an Anti-microbial fabrics with surface treated with 'Static' and 'Cidal' finish. It is called "Spartan". Static—Enables inhibition & Cidal—Provides terminal effect on Pathogens. Woven fabrics will prevail in various hospital requirement despite the advent of disposal of Nonwoven fabrics. They will need an engineered surfaces for value proposition. Spartan is one such engineered textiles having a surface coated with nano particle providing Anti-microbial effect with options of bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal finish.
STATIC: Inhibits bacterial colonization
CIDAL: Terminates Pathogens

FEATURES OF SPARTAN LAMINATES:

  • 100% Cotton fabric treated with AM (Static & Cidal) finish
  • Dying Fastness to withstand sterilization process or UV exposure
  • Moisture cure laminate ensuring no VOC
  • Vapour breathable laminates withstanding 7000 mm of water column
  • Providing Mattress protectionor OT isolationfor non-stain cover
  • Laminates provide enhanced life to linen
