3. Medical Textile
 Combination of textile technology and medical
sciences has resulted into a new field called
medical textiles.
 Fiber based products and structures used in first
aids or the clinical treatment of a wound or
medical condition.

4. Applications of medical textile in healthcare
 Based on the end-use, medical textile is broadly
divided into different types
 Hygiene/ Healthcare
 Surgical (implantable and non-implantable)
 Extra-corporeal devices

5. Higene/Hygiene:
The definitions:
 Higene is the science and practice of maintaining good
health through cleanliness.
 According to the World Health Organization (WHO),
“Higene refers to conditions and practices that help to
maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases”

6. Concept of Hygiene Textile:
 The concept of hygiene textile is based on the
lotus plant whose leave are well known for their
ability to “Self-Clean” by repelling water and dirt.
 Nano technology provides similar concept of self
cleaning as well as fresh cloths every day, this is
not only technically benefited but techno-
economically also benefited.

7. Hygiene Textile:
Hygiene Textile:
Self-Cleaning Antimicrobial

8. Naturally inherent material:
 Some natural fibers are believed to be inherently antimicrobial,
such as
Kapok, hemp, flax and bamboo.
 Essential oil of industry hemp can significantly inhibit microbial
growth; the degree of inhibition depends on variety and
showing time (Nissen,2010)
 Bamboo's antimicrobial activity, mentioned in the news
worldwide, was denied by federal Trade Commission, USA
(2009). But its regenerated from can give good results in
antibacterial feature.
 Inherently antimicrobial fibers can be formed from
antimicrobial chitosan.

9. Higene Textile:
 Textile materials which are capable of inducing
healthcare measures and insure the cleanliness as
referred as Higene textile.
 Constant innovations in structure and fiber
development are leading to increase interest in the
capabilities of Higene textile material.
 The global healthcare market is one of the worlds
largest industries with a value estimated at over US53.5
trillion year

10. Why Hygiene Textile:
 For keeping up good health and psychological impacts.
 Due to time limitation people every day busy in their
work that they do not have time for cleaning their daily
wear clothes.
 Also military people have to survive in such drastic
condition for longer periods of time that they cannot
wash their cloths.

11. Hygiene/Healthcare product
 Hygiene/Healthcare product are pretty vast in
number and are used to maintain a safe and
hygiene enviornment,especially in the OR and the
hospital wards for patient, doctors, and staff.
 Theses product can be both washed as well as
disposed.
 These products should exhibit a number of key
characteristics such as cleanness, contamination-
free and infection control.

12. Hygiene product

13. Requirements of Hygiene Textiles:
Essential requirements of the hygiene textiles are as follow;
 Softness
 Flexible
 Tenacity
 Absorbent
 Bio-stability
 biodegradable

14. Hygiene/Healthcare product
 Masks
 Medical Caps
 PPE
 Bandages
 Gowns
 Surgical cover
 Wipes
 Plasters
 Wound care pad
 Drapes
 Blankets
 Cover stock
 Surgical hosiery

15. Surgical gowns,caps,and masks:
 Surgical gowns,caps,and masks are essential
part of keeping an OR clean and preventing
infections and diseases. These gowns act as
barriers b/w pollutants and patients.
 Surgical gowns are made up of different
materials, such as woven ,non woven. Woven
cotton gowns are also better option as they
prevents patients from getting contaminated.
 Surgical masks, caps and cover clothes should
be lightweight and non allergic. Cover cloth
should be water-resistant against bacteria and
germs should absorb any sweat from a patients
body and wound secretion.

Surgical cap

16. Cloths and wipes:
 Made from non woven bonded fabrics which may be soaked with an antiseptic
finish.
 The cloth or wipe may be used to clean the wounds or the skin prior to wound
dressing application, or to treat rashes or burns.

17. Surgical Hosiery:
Surgical hosiery is used for a number of purposes, from a light support to the limb, to the
treatment of venous disorders. Knee and elbow caps that are generally shaped during knitting
circular machines, and may also contain elastomeric threads, are worn for support and
compression during physically active sports, or for protection.
Knitting or circular machine

18. Plasters:
 These pre-cut 2.5 cm wide and 7.2 cm long
plasters are suitable for the hygienic and
protective covering of small wounds.
 The plasters are made of a textile that allows
skin to breathe normally and are very flexible
so they do not restrict movement.

19. Function of wound dressing:

20. Hygiene/ Healthcare textiles require properties
 Purity and nontoxicity
 Sterility
 Ability to manage exudates and fluid
without causing irritation or
maceration
 Comfort
 Provision of thermal insulation
 Breathability
 Mechanical protection
 Moisture and liquid absorption
 Low adherence
 Nonsensitizing, nonallergic
 Not contaminating a wound with
loose fibers or other particles
 Providing an effective barrier against
microorganisms, dirt, liquid, and other
foreign bodies

21. Advantages of hygiene/ healthcare medical
textiles:
 Prevents healthcare-associated infections (HAI)
 Material can be disposable or reusable
 Compatible with various sterilisation techniques
 Barrier protection properties can be engineered
 Protects users from static electricity
 Breathability
 Flexible and comfortable

22. Fibers which are used for Healthcare/Hygiene
Products:
.

23. Manufactured method:
The Manufactured of Hygiene textile using nanotechnology;
 Using hydrophobic coatings the lotus effect
 Using hydrophobic photo catalytic coatings
 Using sliver nanoparticle's
 Using easy to clean finishing

24. Process to make Hygiene product:

25. Self-cleaning textiles using the Lotus Effect:
 The self cleaning property of the “Lotus Effect”,
is based on the specific properties of micro and
nanostructured ultra hydrophobic surface, which
are always completely cleaned by rainfall.
 The contact area of water and dart particles is
largely minimized by the double structured
surface.

26. Optimizing parameter:

27. Software used:
 DB-Weave
 Garber software
 CAD (Computer Aided Design)

28. Future of Hygiene Textiles:
 Hygiene textiles play an increasingly important protective role in medical care.
 Due to the aging of consumers and health advocates, long-term demand is expected to remain
strong.
 The value of Hygiene products in the healthcare industry is approximately $73 billion per year.
 In 1990, medical textiles accounted for 9% of global industrial textile consumption, and it is
estimated that consumption will increase at an annual rate of 4.5% by 2010.
 It is expected to increase by 7% in the every years. The fibers used in certain Hygiene products, the
main fabric structure, the textiles used in each category, and the requirements.
 The private environment created by using protective clothing, gloves, and masks increases the
possibility of thermal fatigue, which has been shown to increase error rates, reduce performance,
and reduce efficiency.
 In addition, providing adequate physical comfort to healthcare providers can have a positive
psychological impact.

29. Conclusion:
 Environmentally friendly and recycled fibers will replace resource-intensive raw
materials more quickly, providing such opportunities.
 The country’s location and its medical textile and apparel industry’s ability to
provide low-cost manufacturing, competitiveness, quality Hygiene medical
products, and efficient delivery times.
