Medical Textile

Combination of textile technology and medical sciences has resulted into a new field called medical textiles. Medical textiles also known as Healthcare Textiles. Medical Textiles is one of the most rapidly expanding sectors in the technical textile market.

Properties of Medical textile fibre 1.Non toxic 2.Non Allergenic 3.Non Carcinogenic 5.Bio compatibility

Medical Textile Fibre

•Fibresused in to medical application falls into two groups

1.Commodity fibre

2.Speciality fibre

Commodity Fibre

Natural & RegeneratedFibre1. Cotton2. Silk3. Viscose Synthetic Fibre1. Polyester2. Polypropylene3. PTFE(poly tetrafluoroethylene)4. Polyamide5. Carbon6. GlassFibre

SpecialityFibre

Collagen: This is obtained from cow skin.

Calcium Alginate:This is made from brown seaweed

Chitosan

It is obtained from treating Chitin with alkali.

Classification of Medical textile The textiles used in medical and surgical

purposes can be classified as follows –Non implantable materials-Bandages,

plasters ,etc. –Extracorporeal devices-Artificial kidney,

Liver, and Lung. –Implantable materials-Vascular grafts,

Artificial ligaments, Artificial joints, etc. –Healthcare/hygiene products-bedding,

clothing, surgical gowns, cloths, wipes etc.

Implantable Materials

These are the textile structures that can be used inside the human body for various purposes, such as replacement surgery(vasculargrafts, artificialligaments etc).

Implantable Materials

Conclusion

Medical textiles are one of the dynamically expanding sectors & development of same is to convert painful days of patients into comfortable days.

As medical procedures continue & transform , the demand for textile materials is bound to grow & grow.
