Medical Textile Breakthroughs Track
Monday, Nov. 1
1-1:50 pm
Fibrous Scaffolds for Tissue
Engineering Applications in
Regenerative Medicine
Dr. Jessica Gluck, Assistant Professor, Textile
Engineering, Chemistry and Science, Wilson
College of Textiles, NC State
As biotechnology advances, we are seeing
more innovative approaches in medicine.
Textiles in the form of fibrous scaffolds
can be used for tissue engineering,
which is the recapitulation of native
tissues in the lab. These fibrous scaffolds
augment and support specific cellular
function depending on tissue of interest.
In particular, we explore how to develop
fibrous scaffolds that best mimic the
unique properties of native tissue and
how we can manipulate those scaffolds
to develop tissue-engineered constructs
with specific functions. The Gluck Tissue
Engineering Laboratory uses a stem cell
model for cardiovascular and corneal
tissue engineering and we will discuss
our recent progress.
2-2:50 pm
Smart Textiles for Medical
Applications at DITF
Carsten Linti, Deputy Head of Technology
Center, Biomedical, German Institutes for
Textile and Fiber Research
Smart textiles are creating a more active
role for textiles in patient care with medical
applications ranging from knitted textiles
with adaptive compressions, to e-textiles
with sensory and actuator properties.
This presentation provides an overview
of the DITF contribution to research and
development projects in this field. Current
work includes the European ULIMPIA, a
joint project focused on the integration
of textile and foil-based sensors into a
multilayer wound patch. Key to work in the
medical sector is the institute's Biomedical
Engineering technology centre, that is
certified according to EN ISO 13485 for the
development of medical devices.
3:10-4 pm
Medical Device Innovation:
Patient Isolation and
Transportation Unit (PITU)
Bud Weisbart, Vice President, and Jessica Gunawan,
General Manager, AR Tech A&R Tarpaulins, Inc.
This session will cover the development
and purpose of the newly developed
Patient Isolation and Transportation Unit
(PITU). Learn how PITU addresses issues
related to contagious disease and the safety
of medical patients, staff, and facilities.
4:10-5 pm
Comparison of Test Methods
for Evaluating the Particle
Filtration Efficiency of
Protection Masks
Alejandro Maupomé, Project Leader, CTT Group;
Vincent Deregnaucourt, Project Leader, CTT Group;
Justine Decaens, R&D Manager, CTT Group
This presentation will focus on comparing
test methods for measuring the PFE (Particle
Filtration Efficiency) of masks and respirators.
PFE is the most universally tested
parameter for all types of masks and
respirators. PFE has thus become the single
most important parameter to measure and
report to assess the degree of protection
offered by masks and respirators, for both
medical and non-medical applications.
Stay in Touch Feel the pulse of the
industry through this worldwide interactive
publication dedicated to the technical
textiles market through interdisciplinary,
engaging content.
