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. Present day society is undergoing changes like large population size, need of increasing his life span of every individual, various situations and hazards of human activity and civilization including transport accidents, chemical materials, fire, cold, diseases, and sports. Such factors increase the demand of medical textiles. So there are several researching works are going on all over the world in medical textile materials and polymers.
Nano-technique has acquired tremendous impulse in the last decade. Nano-fibre based products as well as nano-coated materials are present innovations in the field of medical. So in our technical poster we have gone through latest medical textiles, nano-based products due to following features and wide range of application.
Nanofibres are very attracted due to their unique properties, high surface area to volume ratio, film thinness, nano scale fibre diameter porosity of structure, lighter weight. Nanofibres are porous and the distribution of pore size could be of wide range, so they can be considered as engineered scaffolds with broad application in the field of tissue engineering. Some other applications like wound dressings, bone regeneration and nanofibres to be the carrier of various drugs to the specific sites, etc.
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.
The use of textile materials for medical and healthcare products can be classified into following main areas
