Medical Textiles from Natural Resources provides systematic and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals, production methods, processing techniques, characterization techniques, properties, and applications of medical textile materials from natural resources. Medical textiles offer a variety of technical and functional properties valued in medical and healthcare sectors, often relating to hygiene. As medical textile products remain in close contact with the human body, the fibre must have characteristics such as biological compatibility, biological degradability, permeability and non-toxicity. Only materials from natural renewable sources have such characteristics. This book provides the latest information on a wide range of medical applications ranging from single suture and wound dressings, to implants and tissue scaffolds. It also offers a systematic review of the manufacture, properties, and applications of technical textiles for medical use.
