| "Medical Textiles Classification". <http://www.fibre2fashion.com> |
When learning about textiles and its different functions, I have to say I found this area the most fascinating. Whether for internal or external purposes textiles used within a medical context need to be non-toxic, nonallergenic, sterlizable, strong, durable and biocompatible and can have lots of different functions as seen in the diagram above. After researching online, there seems to be a healthy amount of room for more development in this area. However the things available today are still outstanding such as polyester and viscose fibres being used to create an artificial kidney.
