This presentation introduces medical textiles and their uses. Medical textiles, also known as healthcare textiles, are one of the most rapidly expanding sectors of technical textiles. They are significantly developing due to their major expansion in fields like wound healing and controlled drug release. Common materials used include monofilament and multifilament yarns, woven, knitted and nonwoven fabrics, and composite structures. Textiles are widely used as barriers to infection, for bandaging and pressure garments, wound care, hygiene products, implants, and extracorporeal devices. Requirements for medical textiles include biocompatibility, dimensional stability, elasticity, and resistance to contamination. The conclusion is that as medical procedures

2. Textile use in medical sector

3.  Medical textiles also known as Healthcare Textiles.
Medical Textiles is one of the most rapidly expanding
sectors in the technical textile market.
 Advanced medical textiles are significantly developing
area because of their major expansion
 in such fields like wound healing and controlled release,
bandaging and pressure garments, implantable devices
as well as medical devices, and development of new
intelligent textile products.
Introduction of Medical Textile

4.  The consumption of Medical Textiles worldwide was 1.5
million tons in 2000 and is growing at an annual rate of
4.6%.
 The Indian market size of medical textiles was estimated
to be INR 14.8 billion in 2003-04 and is expected to
grow to INR 23.3 billion by 2007-08. Market is
expected to grow by 8% p.a.

Material used

6.  Barrier material (for infection control)
 Bandaging & pressure garment
 Wound care material
 Hygiene material
 Implantable material (sutures, art. Joints etc)
 Extra Corporal devices (like art. Kidney etc)
The use of textile materials for medical and healthcare
products can be classified into following main areas

8.  Biocompatible
 Good resistance to alkalis, acids and micro-organisms
 Good dimensional stability
 Elasticity Free from contamination or impurities
 Absorption / Repellency
 Air permeability

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.
