Nonwoven materials have a wide range of applications in the medical field to cater diversified requirements of medical textiles. Numerous types of fibers are involved in the production of medical nonwoven and these fibers are cotton, polypropylene, polyester, viscose, polyethylene. Several antimicrobial treatments are in available to make textile resistant of growth of microbial bio-burden. The function of the surgical mask is to protect wearer from being splashed in the mouth with body fluids and to prevent transmission of body fluids from the medical professional the spreads to the patient. The main objective of this study is to focus on nonwoven surgical masks prepared by nonwovens. An attempt has been made in this work to choose suitable nonwoven and suitable chemicals which can perform this function without affecting the functional properties like antimicrobial and to prepare an affordable yet protective surgical mask used by doctors by adopting nonwoven substrate with an efficient coating of antimicrobial agents
