The chapter discusses the characteristics of resorbable polymers used for medical applications, in particular in cardiovascular systems, in terms of their biocompatibility, resorbability, mechanical and degradation properties, manufacturing feasibility, sterilizability and shelf life. Polymers currently in use for biotextile applications are surveyed, together with recent advances in mechano-active engineering of tissues, especially for blood vessel regeneration, using fibrous elastic degradable polymer scaffolds.

The chapter describes the regulatory framework applicable to medical devices, and specifically to biotextiles, principally in the United States, but also in the European Union. With the emergence of new technologies and materials, new forms of regulation have become necessary, and some of the traditional classifications no longer match present-day applications. Problems encountered by manufacturers with regard to premarket approval clearance and material supply quality standards assurance are discussed, as well as issues increasingly arising when one biotextile-based medical device is evolved into another for a different use.

Implantation of a permanent or retrievable filter in the inferior vena cava (IVC) is becoming an increasingly popular option for patients at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This chapter discusses the size and shaping parameters for IVC filters, and considers materials that are suitable. Complications and adverse incidents are also reviewed. The chapter concludes with specifications for an ‘ideal’ IVC filter and a look at a recent new design that has recently completed clinical trials.

Medical Textiles from Natural Resources provides systematic and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals, production methods, processing techniques, characterization techniques, properties and applications of medical textile materials from natural resources. Medical textiles offer a variety of technical and functional properties valued in medical and healthcare sectors, often relating to hygiene. As medical textile products remain in close contact with the human body, the fibre must have characteristics such as biological compatibility, biological degradability, permeability and nontoxicity. Only materials from natural renewable sources have such characteristics. This book provides the latest information on a wide range of medical applications, from single suture and wound dressings, to implants and tissue scaffolds. It also offers a systematic review of the manufacture, properties and applications of technical textiles for medical use. - Explains the latest technologies related to fibre extraction from natural sources, chemical treatments, weave constructions, fabric finishes and coatings. - Describes innovative applications of nanomaterials in the treatment of textile fabric and the utilization of carbohydrate polymers in the preparation of nanoparticles deposited in nonwoven fabrics. - Helps product designers to find appropriate materials from natural resources with the characteristics of biodegradability, renewability, biocompatibility and nontoxicity.
