Abstract

Overcoming the literatures about bandages which come under the division of healthcare and hygiene this research work was concentrated on medical bandages. 100% cotton, 100 % bamboo and 50:50 bamboo/cotton were chosen for the construction of bandages and it was given for a vital finish which includes antimicrobial using triclosan (an antimicrobial agent), vitamin E and aloevera to improve the functional property. The woven bandages are tested for antimicrobial activity (AATCC 147), comfort and aesthetic property. It is clearly proved that the bandages finished with triclosan, an antimicrobial agent gives better efficiency about 0.4 mm of zonal inhibition and also better resistance against microbes. The aloevera and vitamin E finish produces fragrance, cooling effect and also prevents the skin from getting scars.
