Materials for personal protective equipment (PPE) that is water resistant, blood resistant, and virus resistant are disclosed. The materials described herein are also highly breathable adding to the comfort of PPE made from these materials. The materials for PPE described herein contain one or more uniaxially or biaxially stretched microporous films.

An object is to provide a garment-type biological information measurement device having a biological contact-type electrode and having excellent durability against washing. A garment-type biological information measurement device comprising an electrode, wherein the electrode comprises a stretchable conductive layer containing a flexible resin and a conductive filler, a stretchable adhesion acceleration layer, a stretchable hot melt adhesive layer, and a garment fabric, in this order.

Described herein, is the manufacture, matter of compositions, function, methods and uses of a compression legging system that combines a swelling monitor, a patient activity monitor, medical compression legging material, and a mobile application to help PTS patients detect recurrent DVT and seek medical attention quickly before the development of PE, while reducing swelling and preventing DVT via compression therapy.

A garment, particularly a garment useful in a medical setting, comprising a gown that provides an acceptable barrier between a wearer and certain contaminants as well as easy doffing, the gown having a neck opening, two sleeves, a body portion including a front body portion and a back body portion, one or more panels, and/or one or more doffing features.

A system and method are herein described. The system comprises two or more transducer arrays, each of the two or more transducer arrays comprising one or more first connector; a garment comprising a supporting layer and one or more second connector; a pump configured to selectively provide a fluid at one or more predetermined pressure; an inflatable component comprising one or more bladder and supported by the supporting layer at a location associated with the treatment area, the one or more bladder biased to a neutral position and configured to expand to an inflated position based in part on the one or more predetermined pressure, the one or more bladder in the inflated position providing a biasing pressure against a particular transducer array to cause the particular transducer array to conform to a subject's body; and a tube configured to provide fluid communication between the pump and the inflatable component.

Certain embodiments are directed to materials and devices to be used in conjuction with interventional medical procedures. In certain aspects the interventional procedure is ultrasound guided venous cathterization.

A protective apparel support system is disclosed comprising a support frame configured to rest on the shoulders of a wearer, the support having a first shoulder member, a second shoulder member and a shield engagement portion. A shield is selectively coupleable to the support and protective apparel is coupled to the shield.

A health monitoring garment is provided. The health monitoring garment includes an article of clothing comprising at least one compression section to provide a snug fit against a person wearing the article of clothing and a sensor island. The sensor island includes stretchable circuitry, two or more sensors, one or more power supplies, and optionally one or more wireless communication modules within a self-contained unit. At least one of the sensors comprises a stretchable sensor which may be a respiration sensor. The sensor unit may be provided independent of the health monitoring garment or as a complete system. The sensor island and compression section of the article of clothing also include fasteners of complementary geometries for reversible attachment and disengagement of the sensor island from the compression section.

Melt-blown webs having no shots and improved barrier properties, whereby the melt-blown webs are made out of a so-called “controlled rheology” propylene (CR-PP), which was visbroken without any peroxide.
