Effectiveness of Textile Materials in Gynaecology and Obstetrics
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Reproductive System and Sexual Disorders - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The article reviews some significant advances in the use of textile materials in obstetrics and gynaecological procedures. Some developments in texture suture materials have been highlighted. Despite millennia of experience with wound closure biomaterials, no study or surgeon has yet identified the perfect suture for all situations. In recent years, a new class of suture material-barbed suture-has been introduced into the surgeon's armamentarium. Focus has been directed on barbed suture to better understand the role of this newer material in obstetrics and gynaecology. Cellulose nonwoven modified with chitosan nano particles has been developed and its physical-chemical, morphological and physical-mechanical aspects characterized in order to explore their possible use in medicine as gynaecological tampons. Tampons have been developed using viscose fibres coated by chitosan dissolve in acetic or lactic acids both inhibit the growth of micro organisms and adjust the pH. Such a tampon proved better than existing ones and thereby proves beneficial for pregnant women. The relationship between wound closure biomaterials and surgery dates back as far as 4000 years, when linen was used as a suture material. The list of materials used to close wounds has included wires of gold, silver, iron, and steel; dried gut; silk; animal hair; tree bark and other plant fibers; and, more recently, a wide selection of synthetic compositions. Despite millennia of experience with wound closure biomaterials, no study or surgeon has yet identified the perfect suture for all situations.
