Advantages of Medical
Textile
Prevention of HAI
Cross infection is reduced
Protection of care providers
Cost effective
WHO recommends disposable PPEs
Comfort level is higher e.g. gowns
Breath-ability of non-woven is better
Engineered to have high barrier to blood and other body
fluids.
Recent Advances
* Development of Polylactic acid
polyglycolic acid fibers as structures
for cell growth.
* Temporary bio-resource-able textile
supports for growing human organic
tissue
* Development of smart fibers
(Polymers/ Proteins) for treatment
of wounds & Ulcers
Traditional applications
Include wound care products, diapers, braces, protheses
and orthoses, wipes, breathing masks, bedding and
covers, ropes and belts etc.
Innovative textile products can both add significantly to
effectiveness of medical treatments as well as patient
comfort At the same time, new medical textiles, may
contribute to cost containment.

Sutures
Collagen threads of high yardage were manufactured by two
different techniques being wet spinning of collagen dispersions
and melt spinning of thermoplastic collagen.
Catgut was the stapleabsorbable suturematerial through the
1930s,
physicians used silk and cotton where a non-absorbable material
was needed. Suture technology advanced with the creation
ofnylon, polyester around the same time.
Surgeons began using an atraumatic needle, which was pressed or
crimped onto the suture.
chemists developed new synthetic materials that could be
absorbed by the body. These were polyglycolic acid and polylactic
acid.
Previously, absorbable sutures had to be made from the natural
material catgut. Poly propylene sutures

Alginate fibre
The alginic acid is a natural polysaccharide which withdraws from the
brown alga
The sea alginate can usually be used as frozen mastic or thickening agent
in food industry, textile industry and pharmaceutical industry.
New use of alginic acid is used as wound bandage or paste .
The alginate fiber has the unique ionic exchange performance which may
interact with the wound percolate and form the moist gelatin, in such way,
the wound can be cured and the bandage can be removed easily, the
bandage which has higher content of alginate fiber can be washed by heat
salt fluid or removed all, and the newly recovered frail organization of the
wound surface cant be affected, hence, it becomes one of the ideal
wound wrap article.
Chitin fibre
widely exists in crustacean animals such as shrimp, crab .
Shrimp, crab chitin powder toluene sulfonic acids isopropyl alcohol
solution LiCl3 dimethyl acetamide wet spinning dry spinning chitin
fiber .
Because of the strong reactivity, non-toxic property, tasteless, anti-alkali,
anti-corrosive, biodegradation, good biological activity, biological
compatibility, binding property, softness, antibacterial and scur removal
property and so on, the chitin fiber can be used as the suture line, the
Chitosan fiber
Chitosan is the deacetylation derivatives of chi-tin.
because of the primary amino in chitosan, so the reactivity and dissolved
performance are better than chitin, and also be regard as the most
important and widely used derivatives.
strong reactivity, non-toxic property, tasteless, anti-alkali, anti-corrosive,
biodegradation, good biological activity, biological compatibility, binding
property, softness, antibacterial property and so on, so it arouses great
interest.
biomacromolecule material
The biomacromolecule material, which has developed in recent 20 years,
the biomacromolecule material is a kind of inner cell polyester
which synthesis by many microorganism, also a kind of natural biopolymer material.
This kind of polymer is formed by the fruitful resources of wild grass
fermentation in mid-west America. Generally adding during the
processing can make the biological polyester.
strength of suture line that is made by the material is higher or lower,
the elasticity or the inelasticity are the best,
Besides, the application of PHA in fiber area makes the
suture line can dissolve in a short time, at the same time, it can be
used as human body or structure such as pancreas or heart.
Because of the
good biocompatibility, biodegradability and plastic heat
processing performance, therefore, it has become the hot research
point of biological materials in recent years.
