Chapters within the textbook cover:
- The history of innovation within medical textiles with particular attention given to key concepts of the latter part of the 19th Century and subsequent associated developments.
- Textile and polymer science underpinning fibres, fabrics, nano-fibre technology and the functional finishes that can be applied to enhance the performance of medical textile products.
- Woven, knitted, nonwoven and braided fabrics and the key performance characteristics of each fabric type which make them particularly suited to specific medical textile roles such as mesh, grafts, filtration and scaffolds for tissue engineering.
- Implantable medical textiles, non-implantable medical textiles, health and hygiene products and extracorporeal devices that use textile products.
- Legislative requirements for medical devices.
- The design of experiments and suitability for purpose of textile test methods.
- Case studies to illustrate how medical textiles are applied in practice.
The book provides essential reading for textile professionals, biomedical engineers, and others involved in the research, design and engineering of medical and healthcare appliances, and for those employed in the medical profession wishing to gain new insights into the wealth of materials at their disposal.
