    Medical textiles are manufactured a goods which includestextile stuff used in hygiene, healthiness and private care aswell as surgical end use. The Medical textiles products areobtainable in woven, knitted and non-woven structure

    based on the area of application. Increasingly, synthetic fibre is being utilized in the

    manufacturing of these products. Depending upon the area of purpose, medical textiles are classify as

    The type of fibre used varies based on the

    application. The synthetic fibres are steadily

    replacing natural fibres.

    However, most of products under Medical

    textiles (and related fibre) need sterilization

    The Artificial Heart

  • 8/2/2019 Pres Ion Tat Ion 1

    13/95

    What is an artificial heart?

    An artificial heart is a mechanical device that

    replaces the heart. Artificial hearts are

    typically used to bridge the time to heart

    transplantation, or to permanently replace the

    heart in case transplantation is impossible.

    An artificial heart is also distinct from

    a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB),

    which is an external device used to provide

    the functions of both the heart and lungs.

    Raw materials

    Raw Materials

    An artificial heart is made out of metal, plastic, ceramic,and animal parts. A titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy isused for the pump and other metal parts because it is

    biocompatible and has suitable structural properties. Thetitanium parts are cast at a specialized titanium processor.Except for blood-contacting surfaces, the titanium ismachined to a specific finish. Blood-contacting surfacesreceive a special coating of titanium microspheres thatbond permanently to the surface. With this coating, bloodcells adhere to the surface, creating a living lining.

    A blood-contacting diaphragm within the pump is madefrom a special type of polyurethane that is also textured toprovide blood cell adherence. Two tubular grafts are madefrom polyester (which are used to attach the device to the

    aorta) and the valves are actual heart valves removed from

    An artificial heart works by allowing blood to enterfrom either the right or the left atrium. The blood isthen pumped into the aorta or thepulmonary artery.Which atrium the blood enters

    through and where it is pumped to after, all dependson which side of the heart the artificial heart is

    The artificial heart gets its power through electricity orcompressed air.There is a thin cable that connects thepumping chamber to a control console.The control

    console is used to regulate the functioning of thepump.The control console is outside of the body andcan be worn by the person on either a belt or a vest.Ithas the ability to be disconnected from the opening inthe body so that the person wearing it can take a

    Problems associated with it

    The risk of infection is high because of thebreak in the skin that is needed to connect theartificial heart with its external power source

    Another problem is that the medicationsrequired increase the risk of bleedingcomplications.Blood thinning drugs are givento help the body reduce the tendency to formclots.But, by doing that, the body is slow toform clots for any injuries throughout thebody, thereby causing the bleeding

    complications.

    conclusion

    Despite the problems, artificial hearts are

    extremely important to the longevity of the

    human race.The age of life expectancy will

    continue to rise as long as devices such as the

    artificial heart are invented and used.

    Artificial liver

    Earlier, artificial support

    systems were not widely

    used in case of liver failure,

    primarily because hepatic

    toxics are albumin-bound

    unlike for the most parturemic pollutant and hence

    cannot be removed by usual

    dialysis process.

    Recently advances have

    been made for the removal

    of hepatic toxins making it

    now possible to support the

    patient with liver failure till

    liver recovers or until liver

    transplantation is feasible

    India has done less than 300 liver transplantations.

    The liver transplants are primarily done through two

    modes in india-

    new.Cadaveric donation where the liver of a brain deadperson is used.

    2.Living liver donation where half of the liver of patients

    relative is given to the patient,the liver then regeneratesafter some days in both donor and receiver.

    Dialyzers are encountered in medical work in

    renal dialysis where unwanted small molecules(e.g. urea) and water can be removed from the

    body.

    Hemodialysis (sometimes called artificial

    kidneys) take blood from the body and pass it

    Ligament is a multilayered or tubular woven

    structure having intra-particular region, at

    least one bend region and end regions.

    Each region is woven so as to possess the

    required elasticity and strength.

    Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is mainly

    used for manufacturing artificial ligaments.

    The artificial ligament must be bio-compatible

    with contact blood and tissue and should have

    good bonding strength.

    General Considerations:

    Rigid lenses are comparatively tiny, usually about9.0mm diameter.

    RGP lenses should move a bit to convey O2through tears to the cornea. Movement or "lag"generally is approximately 2-3mm.

    The uneasiness of the lenses is mainly due to lid

    sense, particularly the upper lid going over thelens.

    As a result, patients often stop blinking generally,and 3-9 staining, results from drying of the

    parallel cornea.

    THE OPTICS OF RIGID CONTACT

    LENCES:

    Soft Contact Lenses are made from a waterabsorbing polymer called HEMA (Hydroxyl

    qualities, i.e., it can soak up water and still

    retain its shape and optic functions.

    Artificial skin

    About artificial skin:

    Skin grafting is theprocedure of replacingdead skin with live skin.

    There are two primarymethods of skin grafting

    1. Autologous skin graftand

    2. Allograft transfers.

  • 8/2/2019 Pres Ion Tat Ion 1

    46/95

    The autologous skin graft transfers skin from one

    part of the body to another. The allograft transfers

    skin from the bodies of other people / cadaver. Allografts offer only temporary cover, as they are

    quickly rejected by a persons immune system.

    The artificial skin is used in the skin grafting process.

    After taking out burnt / spoiled skin, surgeons

    covered the injury with a covering called artificial

    skin.

    A bandage is a part of material used either to hold up a

    medical apparatus such as a dressing or splint, or on its own

    to offer support to the body. Bandages are existing in an

    ample range of varieties, from common cloth strips, to

    specialized fashioned bandages designed for a precise limb orpart of the body, even though bandages can frequently be

    improvised as the situation demands, using clothing, blankets

    or other stuff.

    In ordinary speech, the word "bandage" is often used

    to mean a dressing, which is used directly on a

    wound, whereas a bandage is technically only used

    to support a dressing, and not directly on a

    wound.

    According to StedmansBandages are ...piece[s]

    of cloth or other material, of varying shape and size,

    applied to a body part to make compression,
