Biomedical textiles are fibrous structures designed for use in specific biological environments, where their performance depends on biocompatibility with cells and biological tissue or fluids. They are also branch of technical textile. Biomedical textiles are textile products and constructions, for medical and biological applications. It is related to medical textile. They can be defined as materials comprising of fibres that are specially designed for use in specific biological conditions, wherein biocompatibility and bio-stability with cells and biological environment are the factors determining the performance of biomedical textiles.
Increasing use of biomedical textiles in non-implantable, implants, extracorporeal and surgical suture applications. Also, increasing demand for non-woven fabrics from non-implantable applications, such as gauze, cohesive, adhesive, tubular, and triangular bandages is expected to grow further. Rise in the number of surgeries and accidents globally is expected to drive the demand for biomedical textiles, including wound care products such as bandages, in the non-implantable application also assist the growth of biomedical textile market. Increasing expenditure on healthcare facilities and rising income are also propelling the growth of the biomedical textiles market. Nowadays, number of biomaterials used as medical textiles such as cotton, silk, fibre yarns, collagen, viscose, alginate etc. The controllable degradability, biocompatibility, ease of processing, and significant mechanical strength are the factors considered for any biomaterial to be used for soft tissue repair, extracorporeal implants, health care and hygiene products, and other related purposes. High R&D investments and capital requirement for making biomedical textiles can stand as barrier to the growth of the biomedical textiles market.
The global pandemic of Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has affected several industries badly all over the world. Many countries are under strict lockdown that has forced several sectors to shut down their operations that has led to various large companies and governments, to restock supply chains. The global pandemic of Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has caused economic crisis all over the world. However, during this pandemic increasing demand of surgical disposable non-woven masks and personal protective equipment (PPEs) that are designed to safeguard the health of workers has driven the growth of biomedical textile market.
