Nano-Enhanced Biotextile Sterilization Techniques for Medical Applications

Abstract

Sterilization for nano-enhanced biotextiles which are used for medical applications has various challenges which require proper, especially those which are meant for internal use or implantation. Nano-enhanced biotextiles which are used for various medical applications are sterilized by various methods. So, in this chapter briefly mentioned are various traditional sterilization techniques, such as chemical sterilization and saturation/steam sterilization, these techniques are also known as conventional sterilization techniques; and non-traditional sterilization techniques such as plasma sterilization method, microwave sterilization method, and various other sterilization methods, these methods are also known as modern sterilization techniques. Various medical applications of these biotextiles show many future aspects in the fields of medicine, microfiltration components, dialysis filter system, implants, tissue engineering, bandages, anti-microbial fabrics, and many other uses. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Prashansa Sharma, Devsuni Singh, Suman Pant and Vivek Dave; individual chapters, the contributors.
