  1. Technical Textiles - Buyer’s Perspective With Regards Medical Department, Indian Railways Dr. A K Kanchan, Chief Medical Director, Central Railway

  2. Indian Railways Medical Department Statistics

  3. Indian Railways Medical Department Statistics (contd ….)

  4. Indian Railways Medical Department Statistics (contd ….)

  5. Indian Railways Medical Department Statistics (contd ….) Budget Estimated budget of Medical Department Rs. 1322 (which is 2.3 % of total Railway Budget ) Crores Value of above mentioned services 2146 as per CGHS rates Crores

  6. Introduction From ancient times the textile materials were used for medical applications in India viz. surgical sponge, linen, silk sutures, strips, catgut, etc. Latest technological developments has enabled extensive use of technical textiles in healthcare industry today.

  7. Categorisation of Technical textiles in Medical Field In the Patient (Intra-corporal applications) On the Patient Near the Patient For the Patient

  8. Usage category In the Patient – bio-contact for days to months • Sutures (biodegradable and non biodegradable) • soft tissue implants • Artificial tendon (meshes) • Artificial ligament • Artificial cartilage, • Orthopedic implants artificial joint • Cardiovascular implants vascular grafts • Heart valves

  9. On the Patient – bio-contact for minutes to hours Simple bandages Light support bandages Compression bandages Orthopedic bandages  Surgical Gauze Cotton Slings Diapers Eye Pads Drapers Sanitary products Patient Hospital Uniform Adhesive tapes

  10. Near the Patient – No bio-contact, ordinary contact possible Bed sheet Pillow cover Other linen items viz. Blanket, Hand Towels etc. Heating Pad

  11. For the Patient – No contact Face Mask Gowns Caps Aprons Mops Shoe Cover

  12. Areas of usage Healthcare/ hygiene products Include bedding, clothing, surgical clothes, products for feminine hygiene like sanitary napkins, baby and adult diapers etc. Non-implantable materials For wound care that includes absorbent pad (wound contact layer, base material viscose, plastic film) and bandages (simple inelastic/elastic, orthopaedic, plasters, gauzes, lint, padding)

  13. A range of natural fibers and biodegradable polymers with non-biodegradable synthetic polymers are being utilised for developing new products in medical textiles. Since the medical textile applications are directly related to the life of human being, these are required to undergo stringent testing and hygienic criteria. This led to innovative use of variety of fibers and lot of developments taking place in this field.

  14. Fibers used in manufacturing of nonwovens for medical applications  • Cotton  • Polyester  • Polypropylene  • Viscose glass fiber  • Wood fluff  • Polyamide   

  15. Quality Standards as per FDA Standards prescribed by FDA for some of the items is tabulated below

  16. Conclusion • Textiles are very important in all aspects of medicine and surgery. • Advances in nonwovens have resulted in a new breed of medical textiles. • Advanced composite materials containing combination of fibres and fabrics have been developed for applications where biocompatibility and strength are required. • It is predicted that the nonwoven materials will continue to have greater impact in this sector because of large member of characteristics and performance criteria required from these materials.
