E-textiles for medical applications
Textiles for life sciences and medical technologies require special properties, such as sensory or actuator characteristics, force-flow-compatible design, application-specific pore sizes, large internal surface area or structural anisotropy. We develop textile based solutions for vital parameter monitoring, decubitus prohylaxis and CPT of lymphedema, pressure relief and improved physiological comfort of bandages and orthoses, implants, e.g. patient-specific solutions or weaving and embroidery processing of shape memory materials abdominal swabs and more.
