The medical textile market is rapidly growing, as medical-grade textiles have proven to provide the versatility and performance that medical device OEMs need to create implantable devices. The incorporation of implantable textiles in vascular medical devices allows for increased flexibility and functionality in product design. Textiles can be developed in 2D and 3D implantable forms, with almost limitless configuration possibilities. This session will provide a brief history of the evolution of surgical textiles and give attendees a better understanding of the structural advantages of incorporating textiles to promote tissue in growth and improve blood permeability.
