In one embodiment the medical fabric is a laminate used as a sterilization wrap having a first spunbond layer, a meltblown layer and a second spunbond layer in which the first spunbond layer is on the side, once an item to be sterilized is wrapped, that is away from the item and that has a greater basis weight than the second spunbond layer that is on the side nearer the item to be sterilized. The medical fabric may also used to produce medical gowns to and drapes.
