Modern textiles and biomaterials for healthcare

Abstract: The chapter provides the latest information on sources and main properties of medical textiles and biomaterials. It first reviews the role of textile structures and biomaterials in healthcare then describes types and key properties of textile structures and biomaterials used for medical sector. The main features of advanced examples and innovative applications of products are given. At the end of this chapter, the future of medical textile materials is discussed.
