China recently unveiled its first reusable medical protective clothing approved for application in Beijing. Produced by Beijing BW Techtextile, it can solve a number of problems in disposable protective clothing, such as large consumption, long production cycle and difficulty in mass storage. It took 68 days from project initiation to production and approval.

On April 17, the protective clothing was awarded the Class II medical device registration certificate by the Beijing Medical Products Administration, becoming the first of its kind to be approved for use in China, according to a Chinese government portal.

Its research and development was organised by the Beijing Medical Products Administration, the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and other departments. The authorities organised several rounds of expert panels, compiled eight versions of clinical trial plans and carried out over 60 data verifications.

Test results showed that the protective clothing performs better than the national standard of medical disposable protective clothing in key indicators such as breaking strength, filtration efficiency, resistance against penetration by synthetic blood and resistance against water permeability.

The reusable kind differs from the disposable ones in many ways, including material composition, production process and clothing structure.

The product can effectively protect clinical staff from the blood, body fluids and secretions of potentially infectious patients and particulates in air during the process of medical consultation, transportation, screening, and isolation.
