A tertiary amine N-oxide is used as a solvent for the pulp. A silver-based antibacterial agent and, optionally, magnetised mineral ore powder are added and the material is solvent spun to produce cellulose fibre, which is useful as medical devices, such as bandages, gauze and surgical robes. 

P(3HB-co-4HB) copolymers are known to be biocompatible material. The biocompatible nature of these copolymers allows it to be utilized for various medical applications. These PHA polymers have been tested in tissue engineering applications as surgical sutures, bone plates, implants, gauzes, osteosynthetic materials, and also as matrix material assisting slow release of drugs and hormones (Zinn et al. 2001 Williams and Martin 2002 Sudesh 2004 Chen and Wu 2005 Freier 2006). Recently, electrospun nanofibers of P(3HB-co-4HB) have been evaluated as scaffolds in vivo and in vitro (Ying et al. 2008). 

A plaster type non-elastic bandage, Unna s boot is favoured in the USA. However, compression would be achieved by three-layer dressing that consists of Unna s boot, continuous gauze dressing followed by an outer layer of elastic wrap. It should be stressed that Unna s boot, being rigid, is uncomfortable to wear and medical professionals are unable to monitor the ulcers after the boot is applied.

Several selected GLS Corporation elastomer products have proven well suited, especially as elastomer film and sheets in medical applications. Single-layer blown films can typically be produced down to 0.1-mm-layer thicknesses. TPEs are used as surgical elastomer wipes, as tapes for gauze bandages, for disposable surgical gowns, or for tourniquet bands. In addition to FDA compliance, easy sterilization properties as well as being free of latex and PVC, important TPE features are their excellent elasticity and soft, flexible surface.
