Contributors cover a range of topics such as emerging textile-based biomaterials, hygienic textiles, the use of textiles in infection control and as barrier materials, bandaging and pressure garments for managing chronic infections such as ulcers, the role of textiles in the management of burns and wounds, textile-based implantable devices such as tissue scaffolds and sutures, and intelligent textiles.Kennedy John F Staff is the author of 'Medical Textiles 2007 Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Healthcare And Medical Textiles', published 2007 under ISBN 9781420044478 and ISBN 1420044478.
