Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to determine the influence of the washing and sterilization process in real hospital conditions on the microbial barrier properties of textile laminate used in medicine for protective clothing. The paper focuses on the functional design of three- layer laminate for medical footwear in surgery and in rooms where aseptic working conditions are required. The permeability and durability of the microbial barrier were determined after 0, 10 and 20 washing and sterilization procedures according to previously developed methods. Bacterial endospores of apathogenic species of the genera Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus atrophaeus were used. A functional design of the protective shoe cover was proposed. The results showed an extremely effective microbial barrier and the durability of the sample after 0, 10 and 20 washing and sterilization procedures, and over a period of one, two and three months.
