Abstract

Selection of materials to be used for medical devices depends on the targeted application. For instance, in wound-healing applications, the most commonly used materials as topical dressings are various textile materials, polymeric foams, alginate, carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) or other types of gels, and sometimes adhesives. Among textile materials, usually fabrics made of natural (e.g., cotton) or synthetic (e.g., high-density polyethylene (HDPE), nylon, polyester, etc.) fibres are used. For catheters, polymers such as polyurethane, silicone, latex or similar are applied as tubes.
