Smart Materials in Medicine

A number of kinds of active dressings have been developed that take advantage of surface and/or colloidal principles and systems. Some of them are fairly simple. For example, silver-coated fibres have been used to contribute antimicrobial and antifungal properties into bioactive fibre bandages, which work through direct contact with wound exudate [48,49]. [Pg.445]

One example of such smart textile applications is in health monitoring [50]. Placement of electrically conducting fibres in smart material clothing can be [Pg.445]

Finally, reference was made to nanomaterials in diagnostics in Section 14.5, whereas smart nanomaterials are being developed that can go one step further by providing detection of a diseased condition and localized release of a therapeutic agent for that condition [52]. [Pg.446]
