The application of woven textiles in healthcare and hygiene is discussed. It is demonstrated in this chapter that the conventional woven structures are still playing a crucial role in designing and engineering hi-tech medical devices. A brief discussion on classification of wounds and their management, infection control, antimicrobial, implantable products, wound dressings and bandages makes this chapter interdisciplinary. Specification and manufacturing aspects of a few product developments are outlined. Commercial names of a few medical devices and their specific applications are highlighted.
