A method of finishing a barrier fabric includes applying a non-aqueous solution of low surface tension solvent and fluorochemical repellent to a barrier fabric, subjecting the barrier fabric to conditions sufficient to remove the solvent from the barrier fabric, and applying an aqueous-based antistat to a surface of the barrier fabric. The low surface tension solvent substantially covers all fibers in the barrier fabric with the fluorochemical repellent. The antistat is prevented by the fluorochemical from migrating from the surface to which it is applied.

Methods of making a barrier fabric include providing a web of nonwoven material that includes at least one meltblown nonwoven layer, applying a barrier finish to the web such that the web serves as a barrier to liquids, stretching the web in a widthwise or cross machine direction without hindering barrier properties of the web, and subjecting the web to conditions sufficient to cure the barrier material.

Absorbent surgical towels with reduced lint particle generation are provided. The surgical towels are formed from fibrous substrates containing binder material that limits lint particle generation to 5,000 or less according to INDA standard test 160.1. The binder material can limit lint particle generation to 500 or less.

A medical packaging substrate formed from a cellulosic pulp and/or synthetic fibers and a binder material is provided by the present invention. The substrate is usable to form medical packages for surgical instruments, medical devices, and medical appliances. The fabric is gas-pervious so that gas sterilization techniques may be used to sterilize the contents of any package made from the material. The substrate is manufactured using a latex deposition process wherein the binder material is applied prior to or during formation of the web.

A multi-layered laminate is described along with methods of making and/or using the same. The laminate may be thermally or ultrasonically laminated and have a bond pattern including a plurality of bond points having an area of about 0.5 mmto about 2.5 mm(e.g., about 1 or 1.6 mm) and at least a portion of the bond points in the plurality are separated from each other (in the horizontal and/or vertical direction) by 6 mm to about 25 mm. The laminate may be useful in medical applications.
