The current research aims to raise the efficiency of and improve cotton fabrics (Tinsel, Bamboo, and Febran) used to resist microbes for cancer patients, and to identify the best concentration of the treatment substance (Chitosan) under study for treating cotton fabrics, and prepare comfortable clothing designs for cancer patients.

The significance of this research lies in providing medical clothing treated with an eco-friendly material (Chitosan) that has no side effects and resists microbes at the lowest cost.

The research sample consisted of three raw materials for weft thread (100% Tinsel, 100% Bamboo, 100% Febran), 1/30 weft thread density, 60 picks /inch, and fixed warp threads 100% cotton draped with three weaving constructions (reverse weave, honeycomb weave, and Crepe, crawl and spin weaves).

The fabrics under study were produced at the textile factory in Mahalla Al-Kubra and were divided into 27 samples with an area of 20×20 cm using three concentrations of Chitosan (2 g/L, 4 g/L, and 6 g/L).

Tests were carried out at both the National Institute of Standards and the National Research Center.

The present research adopted both the descriptive-analytical method and the experimental method.

Nine proposed designs were prepared and a questionnaire was designed and presented to specialists in the field of clothing and textiles to choose the best designs, and 6 pieces of clothing were implemented for cancer patients.

Results revealed that the Febran material with the weaving construction "crepe" treated with chitosan at a concentration of 6 g/l achieved the highest results in antimicrobial.
