Biomedical Textiles

“This book explores a significant area of technical textiles, integrating textile engineering with its applications in medical science, particularly through the use of bio-resources. For example, cotton bio-mordanted with gall nut and alum, subsequently dyed with catechu, and bio-finished using eucalyptus leaf extract with lemon juice as a catalyst, results in biomedical textiles with remarkable antimicrobial properties. Such fabrics can be utilized in doctors’ surgical gowns, multilayer wound-healing antimicrobial patches, and sun-protective clothing for patients with vitamin D2 deficiency. The book addresses contemporary advancements in revolutionizing patient care through both implantable and external medical textile devices. It delves into the production, properties, and challenges of biomedical textiles as an interdisciplinary field at the forefront of global research and applications. It will be highly valuable for industry practitioners, manufacturers, and researchers working in this interdisciplinary domain.” -Prof. Dr A. K. Samanta, Institute of Jute Technology (IJT), University of Calcutta, India. “Meditech is an emerging field of biomedical sciences. It has plenty of medical applications. This book has comprehensively covered the fundamental information, properties, and applications of biomedical textiles. It explains the latest technologies used in this field and how to further their applications. The editors of the book have more than a decade of research experience in this field. Their domain knowledge, experimental studies, and constructive methodology have beautifully explained every topic. This book will prove a solid addition to the library of this field.” -Dr S. N.
