The
recent advancement in medical science has been tremendous and due to this it
helped a lot of people worldwide. The materials that are used include fibre,
woven, nonwoven, knitted, mesh, etc.
They
are mostly classified into two categories:
1.
Implantable materials
These
types of materials are used inside the body as a replacement to any of the body
part or repairing that body part. This type of materials is in high demands
because the materials that are used doesn't interfere with the body's
metabolism or any other activity. The cost of such type of surgery is also
high. Artificial ligaments and vascular grafts are the widely known words.
2. Non-
implantable materials
These
types of materials are not implanted inside the body but are used to cure any
kind of wound or injury caused to the body. They are used in day to day life
and include bandages, plasters, wound care, orthopaedic belts, etc. They won't
make a big hole in your pocket and are easily available.
Other
areas in medical science where there is a good influence of textile industry
and are not much popular in recent times but in the coming future, it will give
humans more chance to live a better lifestyle. Extracorporeal devices are used
to when your vital organs like kidney, liver, lungs, heart pacer, etc are
mechanical organs that help in purifying blood and include artificial kidney,
liver and other organs too. They work and functions exactly as original organs
and easily get incorporated into the body.
Healthcare and hygiene products include all the materials that are used in surgery or
in the hospital during or after the operation. Hand wash soap, gloves,
sanitizer, etc are used more often. Washable and disposable are the two main
category in this product. For medical textile products the manufacturing
techniques used are woven, nonwoven, knitted, braided. Among all of this
nonwoven is the most used one and very popular the reason being its low cost
and easily disposable. The woven and knitted products are replaced but as we
are not much aware of this new technology therefore woven and knitted are
prefer over nonwoven. manpower in such industry is a must and includes both
skilled and unskilled workers but a proper training is a must and thus, will
help to draw attention of the people in this new industry and thus offer
employment to many of the needy ones out there.
The
power required to set up such industry is not big and can be easily achievable
with little efforts and as far as the environment is concerned it has to be
user-friendly without any complications which will help uneducated people to
work in such industry. As far as profit is concerned it is a good business to
start with if you are seeking for a good profit as the production cost is very
less and the selling price that one can get if almost around 10-20%.
