A New Invention Method to Determine the Reduction Factor for Low Fabric Tension Properties for Head Garment Fabrication

This paper proposes a new method to determine the reduction factor for producing a head garment with specified targeted pressure output. Pressure garment fabric mostly supplied to the local hospitals with no information of the material properties and the fabrication method generally used a single re...
