Textile fibers have long played a vital role in the field of healthcare. However, in recent years, the role of fiber wiki materials has improved significantly. For example, bioglass fibers are now used in tissue engineering to create new bone structures, and textile scaffolds are used to promote cell growth and build cell structures. Small cylindrical tubes made of biocompatible materials help support and keep veins and arteries open.
Medical textiles are one of the areas that require great attention because of its direct relevance to humans. Depending on the field of application, medical textiles come in woven, knitted and non-woven forms.
