Antimicrobial, polymer, surgical sutures, textile fibres, wound dressingsAbstract
This review intends to highlight the developments in medical and Health care textiles, current perspective and key challenges regarding the advancements of non-toxic and eco-friendly solutions for health care. This study provides an appraisal on the innovative, intelligent and smart textile products related to Health care and medical textiles. This review also intends to highlight the current state of the technologies as well as future advances and enhancements potential of new textile materials in antimicrobial, surgical sutures and wound dressings. A discussion on classification of antimicrobial textiles, types of surgical sutures and wounds management make this review interdisciplinary.
