Disposable Clothing

Abstract

A disposable clothing is used for protection against liquids or microorganisms, in particular for medicine, chemistry or biotechnology. The clothing comprises, in particular a front part and sleeves ( 20 ) connected thereto. The clothing ( 10 ) is provided with an external layer ( 12 ) in the form of a non-woven air-permeable material. A barrier layer which is selected such that it is air permeable but liquid-proof, is applied to at least the side of the external layer ( 12 ) which is oriented towards a person wearing the clothing ( 10 ). The barrier layer is, at least in places, connected to the external layer. The non-woven material of the external layer ( 12 ) is a laminated material comprising spunbond and meltblown layers.

1 . A disposable piece of clothing, suitable for medical, chemical or biotechnological use to protect a user wearing the clothing from liquids or microorganisms, the clothing comprising:
 at least one air-permeable, hydrophobic or liquid repellent outer layer having a non-woven laminated material made from at least one meltblown layer sandwiched between two spunbond layers; and   a laminated liquid-impermeable, air permeable inner barrier layer connected, at least in sections, to regions of a side of said outer layer facing the user, said barrier layer having an outer liquid impermeable, air permeable layer and an inner non-woven hydrophobic or liquid repellent layer facing the user, wherein the clothing comprises a front part and integrally connected sleeves.   
   
   
       2 . The disposable piece of clothing of  claim 1 , wherein said outer layer comprises a spunbond/meltblown/spunbond (SMS) or a spunbond/meltblown/meltblown/spunbond (SMMS) laminated material. 
   
   
       3 . The disposable piece of clothing of  claim 1 , wherein said barrier layer is connected to said outer layer in a material-bonding fashion. 
   
   
       4 . The disposable piece of clothing of  claim 3 , wherein said material-bonding comprises glue or welding connections. 
   
   
       5 . The disposable piece of clothing of  claim 1 , wherein said barrier layer is disposed proximate said sleeves or proximate lower sleeve ends in a region of user hands to beyond user elbows and/or in a breast region of the user, wherein said barrier layer extends in the breast region beyond user knees. 
   
   
       6 . The disposable piece of clothing of  claim 1 , wherein regions of the sleeves are formed by an other material. 
   
   
       7 . The disposable piece of clothing of  claim 6 , where said other material is a non-woven sheet of laminated material. 
   
   
       8 . The disposable piece of clothing of  claim 1 , wherein said sleeves are Raglan sleeves. 
   
   
       9 . The disposable piece of clothing of  claim 1 , wherein seams in the clothing are folded-over seams or overlapping seams. 
   
   
       10 . A disposable piece of clothing, suitable for medical, chemical or biotechnological use to protect a user wearing the clothing from liquids or microorganisms, the clothing comprising:
 at least one air-permeable, hydrophobic or liquid repellent outer layer having a non-woven laminated material made from at least one meltblown layer sandwiched between two spunbond layers; and   a laminated liquid-impermeable, air permeable inner barrier layer connected, at least in sections, to regions of a side of said outer layer facing the user, said barrier layer having an outer air permeable, liquid impermeable layer and an inner hydrophobic or liquid repellent non-woven layer facing the user, wherein the clothing comprises a front part and integrally connected sleeves, the clothing having a water vapor permeability of at least 2,000 g/m 2  at reinforced locations thereof.   
   
   
       11 . A disposable piece of clothing, suitable for medical, chemical or biotechnological use to protect a user wearing the clothing from liquids or microorganisms, the clothing comprising:
 at least one air-permeable, hydrophobic or liquid repellent outer layer having a non-woven laminated material made from at least one meltblown layer sandwiched between two spunbond layers; and   a laminated liquid-impermeable, air permeable inner barrier layer connected, at least in sections, to regions of a side of said outer layer facing the user, said barrier layer having an outer air permeable, liquid impermeable layer and an inner hydrophobic or liquid repellent non-woven layer facing the user, wherein the clothing comprises a front part and integrally connected sleeves, the clothing having a penetration resistance to water of at least 150 cm at reinforced locations thereof.   
   
   
       12 . A disposable piece of clothing, suitable for medical, chemical or biotechnological use to protect a user wearing the clothing from liquids or microorganisms, the clothing comprising:
 a front part having at least one air-permeable, hydrophobic or liquid repellent outer layer containing a non-woven laminated material made from at least one meltblown layer sandwiched between two spunbond layers and a laminated liquid-impermeable, air permeable inner barrier layer connected, at least in sections, to regions of a side of said outer layer facing the user, said barrier layer having an outer air permeable, liquid impermeable layer and an inner hydrophobic or liquid repellent non-woven layer facing the user; and   sleeves integrally connected to said front part, said sleeves consisting essentially of a laminated liquid impermeable, air permeable barrier layer containing an outer hydrophobic or liquid repellent non-woven layer and an inner air permeable, liquid impermeable layer facing the user.
