RESEARCH ON THE PRODUCTION OF MEDICAL SUITS BASED ON FLAX FIBER FABRICS

Аннотация

This article examines the possibilities of using linen gauze in the production of medical gowns. The naturalness, ecological purity and hygienic properties of flax fiber have been evaluated as a suitable material for use in the field of medicine. In the study, aspects such as air permeability, natural protective properties against bacteria and the ability to protect the skin of the linen fabric are analyzed. Keywords: Flax fiber, medical gown, environmentally friendly, hygiene, tolerance, feature, natural. Linen has the most valuable, truly unique hygienic properties, such as high air permeability and the ability to remove heat and moisture. Flax is good for residents of both southern and northern regions. In hot weather, the skin temperature of a person wearing linen clothes is 3-4 degrees lower than that of clothes made of cotton or silk fabrics. The distinctive properties of linen fabrics are: smoothness, moderate hardness, the ability to absorb moisture droplets from the surface it comes into contact with, minimal electrification, low stickiness, which creates a pleasant feeling in a person when his skin comes into contact with linen. Sufficient air permeability, hygroscopicity and moisture capacity ensure rapid removal of heat and moisture from the human body. Even the presence of a small amount of flax fiber (up to 10%) completely eliminates the electrification of the fabric. Therefore, fabrics blended with linen are very popular now. Scientists have proven that the use of linen prevents a number of diseases, since linen has rare bacteriological properties - neither bacteria nor fungi can penetrate it. This completely clean ecological fabric is a natural antiseptic. Linen kills germs, infections, suppresses harmful microflora, wounds under linen bandages heal faster. Flax contains silica, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. Now flax is an invaluable and unique plant material used in surgery for internal sutures: instead of rejecting it, our body accepts it and gradually dissolves it completely. Linen fabric made from 405 “JOURNAL OF SCIENCE-INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN UZBEKISTAN” JURNALI VOLUME 03, ISSUE 06, 2025.

In addition, since ancient times, wrapping a newborn baby in linen has been considered a guarantee of the baby's future health. Studies conducted by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus have shown that the high hygiene, durability, and comfort of products made from linen fabrics help to further activate blood circulation, stimulate the body, and reduce fatigue. Doctors believe that flaxseed helps reduce colds. Scientists recently conducted a very interesting experiment. Comparative studies have shown that sleeping on linen sheets helps increase the level of immunoglobulin A in the blood, which restores the immune system. As a result, a person feels more refreshed and healthier. Neither synthetics nor cotton give such an effect. Recent studies have shown that linen clothing reduces radiation levels several times, reduces gamma radiation by half, and protects against chemically aggressive environments. In addition, it turned out that flax is able to partially suppress electromagnetic waves, radiation from household and industrial equipment. For people prone to skin diseases and various allergies, bronchial asthma, rhinitis, dyes, bleaches, antistatic agents, artificial fibers and simply woolen fabrics are contraindicated, nothing can be compared with linen. Scientists have proven that every object, every material, has its own energy. Linen has perhaps the strongest energy of all materials. It evokes in a person a sense of calm concentration, thoughtfulness, and measuredness. Psychotherapists are convinced that flax fibers protect a person from depression, neurosis, and mental illness. Therefore, flax is relevant now, in times of constant stress. In addition, flax threads are an excellent filtering material that protects not only from chemically aggressive environments, noise, dust, radiation, but also from mental irritants. 406 “JOURNAL OF SCIENCE-INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN UZBEKISTAN” JURNALI VOLUME 03, ISSUE 06, 2025.

Linen is a natural fiber, known for its environmental friendliness and high quality. The main advantages of using linen fabric in the medical field are: 1. Air permeability : Linen fiber has high air permeability, providing good ventilation inside the robe. This helps keep doctors and healthcare workers comfortable, even when they need to wear gowns for long periods of time. 2. Moisture absorption and dryness : Linen fiber absorbs moisture quickly and releases it quickly, which prevents sweating and ensures dryne
