Abstract
Textiles are common materials for many medical applications. They are used, for example, as bandages, medical stockings, or scrubs. Developments during the last 10 years in the areas of wearable electronics, smart textiles and material research offer new possibilities to create medical textiles with a higher level of functionality and allow the development of completely new active medical textiles. This trend was made possible by the interdisciplinary cooperation of engineers and scientists from textile research, electronics, informatics, and mechanical engineering, together with medical experts.
