Abstract
Biomedical materials, including sutures, implants (such as vascular prostheses, prosthetic heart valves, ureteral stents, and hernia meshes), and scaffolds, carry the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs), which is a common concern of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). A majority of biomedical materials consist of fibers, yarns, and other textile materials. As a result, development and applications of antimicrobial biomedical textiles have a great impact in preventing SSIs associated with foreign materials, and they have attracted a lot of interest in research as well.
