Abstract
The use of textiles in the medical sector is increasing day by day. An important and emerging part of the textile industry is medical, hygiene and health care sector. Textiles are a compelling solution for implantable medical devices, primarily due to the versatility they offer in product design. Textiles are in 2D and 3D implantable forms, with configurations limited only by the imagination. The number of applications is enormous and diverse, ranging from a single thread suture to the complex composite structures for bone replacement and from the simple cleaning wipe to advanced barrier fabrics used in Operation Theater. The main object of this work is to study the types of implantable textiles used in the medical sector such as surgical suture, artificial skin, artificial ligament, and artificial cartilage. In this study, we have included different types of raw materials used and the manufacturing process of these implantable medical textiles.

Summary
The range of Medical textiles are known as Healthcare Textiles. Evolving polymer technology has yielded a wide range of applications of implantable medical textile devices. The Medical textile products are obtainable in woven, knitted and non- woven structure based on the area of application. Medical Textiles are defined in various ways, according to David Rigby Associates. "The Medical Textile or Medtech application area "embraces all those technical textiles used in health and hygiene products". "Textile Terms & Definitions" defines Medical Textiles as "A general term which describes a textile structure which has been designed and produced for use in any of a variety of medical applications, including implantable applications.”. Classification of Medical Textiles a) Non-implantable materials These materials use in external application on the body and may or may not make contact with the skin
