Abstract
Contemporary Status of Research in Material Science for Designing the Advanced Smart Medical Compression Stockings
Highlights
Researchers have been continuously working in the field of materials science to develop novel materials related to healthcare and biomedical applications with profound scientific practice since past few decades
There is an imperious need of advancement in the field of compression therapy to manage lymphatic and phlebological disorders such as leg ulcer, varicose veins, and venous stasis
Prediction of pure memory stress under given temperature at certain strain level revealed by using the memory/relaxed modulus which was shown with new methodology [4]
Summary
Researchers have been continuously working in the field of materials science to develop novel materials related to healthcare and biomedical applications with profound scientific practice since past few decades. Compression therapy applies certain amount of pressure around the affected area to push the venous back and the present candidates available are textiles fibrous based bandages and stockings. Current compression stockings have several shortcomings such as no external pressure control, lack of massage effect, and different class of stockings for different level of pressure. The stress in the material can be programmed, stored, and retrieved reversibly upon an external heat stimulus.
