Overview: Surgical gowns must have a barrier effect between the sources of infection and the user (i.e. a healthy person), as well as good wearing comfort. They are often made of woven polyester fabrics. Different fabric constructions are available for this purpose; these are evaluated with reference to their barrier properties. The paper presents an optical method of obtaining cross-section figures of woven fabrics. The fabric is cut in warp and weft directions, and embedded perpendicularly in a cylindrical sample carrier using an epoxy resin.
