Bandage:
A bandage is a piece of material used either to support a medical device such as a dressing or splint, or on its own to provide support to the body. Bandages are available in a wide range of types, from generic cloth strips, to specialized shaped bandages.

Project by: Apurv, Arunima | FP Tech | NIFT-Bengaluru

To study the types of bandages To study the types of materials used and properties To study about the manufacturing process of bandages To study about the application and brands( international brands and domestic brands) To propose a hypothetical model.

Methods that have been adapted for the successful accomplishment of the project.
-First step Detailed study of topic, its types, usage, principle and procedure. -Second step We use these information for fulfilling the outlined objectives. The assimilation and understanding of this knowledge will help in various ways in which the objectives can successfully be worked to conclusion.

Adhesive Roll

Pressure Bandage

Basically material used for manufacturing bandages are cotton woven fabric, some bandages too uses nylon in some element. Anti microbial and anti bacterial materials are used for finishing. Elasticity to create pressure, Water repelling elements are too used. Applications- Control bleeding - Prevent infection and contamination - Absorbs blood and wound drainage - Protect the wound from further injury

The woven fabric, not only contains impurities, including warp size, but requires further treatment in order to develop its full medical textile potential by applying one or more finishing processes: - Scouring
- Bleaching - Calendaring - Softening - Other functional finishing like Coating, Spraying, Padding and Hygiene Finishing.

Existing Gauze Bandage are skinny transparent fabric with loose open fabric due to softness, high absorbent and breathable. Proposed Model have: - Low friction attained by change in weave and double layer. - Anti-Microbial finish by neem oil treatment on skin facing layer. - Water repellant finish by Fluoro carbon resin.

We studied about the Medical bandages in our project. Through this we came to know about the history, types, brands, materials used and their properties. We studied various famous brands of bandages in India and abroad. The plasters & bandages market is led by adhesive bandages
Adhesive 86.8% First Aid Tape 6.3% Gauze pads/Rolls 6.1% Other 0.9%

*Johnson & Johnson is the market leader with a 58.1% share of the market.

Comparison between Existing and Hypothetical Gauze bandage

Existing Gauze Bandage Plain Open weave Moderate Friction Skinny Hypothetical Model Satin weave (4up 1 down) Low Friction A composite fabric made by over bonding of two fabric layers Natural Anti Microbial Finish by Neem oil Water repellant finish done by fluoro resin compound Low fluid absorption Moderate fluid absorption

No Anti Microbial Finishing No Water repellant finish used

A frictionless bandage system would allow the patient greater mobility by allowing movement.
Low friction bandages can protect the slowly healing wound from deeper injuries. Use of fluoro resins for finishing impart water repellency and soil resistance. Without affecting the air permeability or breathability of the fabric.

Neem oil finishing imparts insect control, antimicrobial and medicinal properties to the bandage.

Material Science- We came to know about Material used for bandages and their properties and materials to be used for our hypothetical model.
Fabric Science- It helped us in understanding properties of different fibers, yarns, weaves, fabrics used for bandages. Geometry- It helped us in understanding geometrical aspects of bandages, their packaging and in surface development of the hypothetical model. Field Study- It helped in having a scientific and systematic approach toward our survey, asking people regarding bandage types and usage.
