ESTIMATION OF PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CHEESECLOTH WITH ANTISEPTIC PROPERTIES

This article describes the results of estimation the physical and mechanical properties of medical gauze treated with aqueous solutions of silver nano-citrate. Studies have shown that the proposed antiseptic finish does not reduce the physical and mechanical properties of medical gauze and is non-toxic. The high antimicrobial activity of the developed finishing mixture against a wide range of microorganisms and the resistance of the modified tissue samples to wet treatments, slightly decreasing only after repeated washes, have been established.
