Medical fabrics are considered one of the modern technologies in
the field of fabric production, which is a mixture of medical
sciences and spinning and weaving technology. It is also known
as textile products that are used in the field of health and human
care.
The fabrics used in the medical fields are considered of medical
fabrics, which requires our interest to catch up with the progress
in the field of technology and textile design, Hence we need to
develop and raise the efficiency of the performance of these
fabrics to bring it to the level of quality, which achieves its
effectiveness in the field of global competition.
This research aims to study the Production of Breastfeeding pads
used to prevent milk leaking from the breast from appearing on
clothes It is one of the essentials that a mother needs while
breastfeeding through the production of fabric samples (woven -
knitwear) and to determine the most suitable materials, as raw
materials (100% cotton - cotton / polyester 50% - 50%) and also
the most suitable structural compositions for production, as it
used plain 1/1, Twill 2/1 and Jersey and Rib 1/1

The most important results that were reached through the
research were as follows:
1- The Twill 2/1 cotton / polyester 50%: 50% sample recorded
the lowest weight among the samples, while plain 1/1 cotton
100% recorded the highest weight among the produced samples.
2- The Twill 2/1 cotton / polyester 50%: 50% sample recorded
the lowest thickness among the samples, while plain 1/1 cotton
100% recorded the highest weight among the produced samples.
3- The samples produced using cotton 100% recorded the highest
air permeability, as the jersey cotton 100% sample achieve the
highest air permeability, while the plain sample 1/1 polyester
100% recorded the lowest air permeability among the samples
produced.
4- The jersey cotton 100% sample recorded the highest
percentage of water absorption among the samples, while the
plain 1/1 polyester 100% sample recorded the lowest water
absorption percentage among the produced samples.
