Abstract
One of the most innovative and growing aspects of the textile industry, including polyester and nylon based textiles, is the field of medicine, healthcare, and hygiene. The extent of the growth of this domain is due to constant improvements and recent innovations in both textile technology and medical procedures. In addition to protective medical apparel, textiles in fiber and fabric form are used as implants, filters, and surgical dressings. Medical textiles are the products and constructions used as healthcare systems for example for first aid, clinical, hygiene implants, and sutures for the huge medical market. Medical textiles account for a huge market owing to the widespread need for them, not only in hospital, hygiene and healthcare sectors but also in hotels and other environments where hygiene is required. Textile materials and products that have been engineered to meet particular needs are suitable for any medical and surgical application where a combination of strength, flexibility, and sometimes moisture and air permeability are required. The various approaches to develop functional biotextiles are blending, coating, chemical treatments, and graft polymerization for making the surface bioreceptive and biocompatible.
