First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A dye free medical towel, comprising: a cotton absorbent cloth having: a reflectance percentage value of greater than about 25 and less than about 75, between about 360 nm and about 750 nm, a whiteness value of less than about 50% WI-CIE, an absorbency rate of greater than about 2 millimeters per second; and a lint release less than 700,000 particles of 0.5 micron size or greater. 2. The dye free medical towel of claim 1 , wherein the color of the cotton absorbent cloth is substantially pantone 400. 3. The dye free medical towel of claim 1 , wherein the cotton absorbent cloth has a reflectance percentage value of greater than about 25 and less than about 70, between about 400 nm and about 700 nm. 4. The dye free medical towel of claim 1 , wherein cotton absorbent cloth has a weight of water per weight of fabric ratio of greater than about 3 as measured by ASTM 4772. 5. The dye free medical towel of claim 1 , wherein the absorbency rate is greater than about 3 millimeters per second. 6. The dye free medical towel of claim 1 , wherein the whiteness value is less than about 35% WI-CIE. 7. A dye free medical towel, comprising: a non-irritant woven cotton absorbent cloth having: a reflectance percentage value of greater than about 50 and less than about 70, between about 400 nm and about 700 nm, a whiteness value of less than about 25% WI-CIE, an absorbency rate of greater than about 2 millimeters per second; and a lint release less than about 100,000 particles of 0.3 micron size or greater. 8. The dye free medical towel of claim 7 , wherein the absorbency rate is greater than about 3 millimeters per second. 9. The dye free medical towel of claim 7 , wherein non-irritant woven absorbent cloth has a lint release of less than about 70,000 particles of 0.5 micron size or greater. 10. The dye free medical towel of claim 7 , wherein the non-irritant woven absorbent cloth includes a color value of less than about 0.4 measured in the yellow spectrum. 11. The dye free medical towel of claim 7 , wherein non-irritant woven cotton absorbent cloth has a weight of water per weight of fabric ratio of greater than about 3 as measured by ASTM 4772.
