Medical textiles are specialized fabrics designed for use in healthcare and medical applications. They are engineered to meet specific requirements such as biocompatibility, durability, and comfort. Common examples include surgical gowns, bandages, and wound dressings, which help protect patients and promote healing. These textiles can be made from various materials, including natural fibers, synthetic fibers, and composite materials. Innovations in this field have led to the development of smart textiles that can monitor health conditions or deliver medication, enhancing patient care and improving outcomes in medical settings.
