This research is mainly concerned with designing woven fabrics used in surgical operation rooms (Nurse’s apparel, durable gowns, swabs, towels, drapes, and bedding). The woven technique was applied to produce these fabrics, using cotton yarns. The produced fabrics were treated with Tinos an cell (antibacterial finish). Different parameters were studied including, fabric structure (plain weave 1/1, regular hopsack 3/3 and mock leno), weft set (22,26 and 30 pick/cm) and yarns counts (30/1 and 40/1 English). Their influence on the performance of the end-use fabric and the achieved properties were studied. On the other hand physico-chemical properties including; antibacterial, air permeability, water permeability, handle, thickness and weight, were evaluated according to the final product needs.
