Abstract
A nonwoven disposable towel, having particular utility as a surgical towel, comprising a five-ply structure and method of making it. The outermost plies of the towel are tissue. To each of these tissue plies there is adhered an intermediate ply constituting a medium density, thermoplastic, long fibered, nonwoven material. These tissue-intermediate ply assemblies comprise primary laminates accounting for four plies of the towel. Between these primary laminates there is located a fifth or center ply constituting a low density, melt blown, long fibered, nonwoven material. The entire structure is heat sealed about its periphery and additional spot heat bonds may be employed to minimize slippage between the center ply and the two primary laminates. The two primary laminates may be embossed prior to assembly of the towel.
