Book excerpt: Four design definition pressure suits procured in connection with the manned orbiting laboratory program were investigated. These pressure garment assemblies were designed to fit in with the proposed crew cabins and related equipment as well as to satisfy safety and functional requirements anticipated for the two man crew. The report describes the pressure garment assemblies, gives some of the logic involved in design selection, reviews the evaluation procedures, and presents the results obtained in the battery of tests. Conclusions cover the general characteristics and shortcomings of the assemblies and offer an unofficial estimate of the general suitability for the MOL program. (Author).

Written by a group of international experts in the field and the result of over ten years of collaboration, it allows students and readers to gain to gain a detailed understanding of scar and wound treatment – a topic still dispersed among various disciplines. The content is divided into three parts for easy reference. The first part focuses on the fundamentals of scar management, including assessment and evaluation procedures, classification, tools for accurate measurement of all scar-related elements (volume density, color, vascularization), descriptions of the different evaluation scales. It also features chapters on the best practices in electronic-file storage for clinical reevaluation and telemedicine procedures for safe remote evaluation. The second section offers a comprehensive review of treatment and evidence-based technologies, presenting a consensus of the various available guidelines (silicone, surgery, chemical injections, mechanical tools for scar stabilization, lasers). The third part evaluates the full range of emerging technologies offered to physicians as alternative or complementary solutions for wound healing (mechanical, chemical, anti-proliferation). Textbook on Scar Management will appeal to trainees, fellows, residents and physicians dealing with scar management in plastic surgery, dermatology, surgery and oncology, as well as to nurses and general practitioners

Book excerpt: This textbook aims to ensure that advances in medical textiles are addressed and that recent developments are able to be appreciated and understood not only by medical practitioners and healthcare personnel but also by textile scientists and technologists. The idea is to stimulate collaborative research and development in the field of medical textiles and to equip researchers with an understanding of the steps they need to take to ensure that their efforts, be they to develop new devices for implantation or items for external application, are carried out in such a way as to improve their effectiveness and enhance the prospects for their implementation. Attention is drawn to the need to improve outcomes in the practical setting and to guidance on the detailed planning required prior to engaging in experimental work. Standard tests can help researchers to monitor performance, but for some important applications such as those required to demonstrate antimicrobial and fluid-repellent performance in most items of protective wear, standard tests consistently fall seriously short in terms of predicting how well they might work in the practical setting. Guidance is therefore given for their further development. Chapters within the textbook cover: The history of innovation within medical textiles with particular attention given to key concepts of the latter part of the 19th Century and subsequent associated developments. Textile and polymer science underpinning fibres, fabrics, nano-fibre technology and the functional finishes that can be applied to enhance the performance of medical textile products. Woven, knitted, nonwoven and braided fabrics and the key performance characteristics of each fabric type which make them particularly suited to specific medical textile roles such as mesh, grafts, filtration and scaffolds for tissue engineering. Implantable medical textiles, non-implantable medical textiles, health and hygiene products and extracorporeal devices that use textile products. Legislative requirements for medical devices. The design of experiments and suitability for purpose of textile test methods. Case studies to illustrate how medical textiles are applied in practice. The book provides essential reading for textile professionals, biomedical engineers, and others involved in the research, design and engineering of medical and healthcare appliances, and for those employed in the medical profession wishing to gain new insights into the wealth of materials at their disposal.

Book excerpt: A two part research on the evaluation of compression garments for its performance and pressure measurement systems using sensors is presented. Researches pertaining to the use of pressure measurement systems for evaluating compression garments were critically appraised and highlighted for their evidence. Various factors that influence garment designing are also highlighted such as, body shape, fabric panels, garment sizing and fabric behaviour. Based on the research it was determined to predict the pressure applied by compression garments on various part of body contour by understanding the fabric characteristics, using pressure sensors and creating a simulated 3D avatar. In part II, sports compression tops were selected. Fabric characteristics were ascertained using FAST (Fabric Assurance by Simple Testing). Using pressure sensor the actual pressure applied by the garment on to the mannequin was recorded. The simulation model was created using information from FAST. The distribution of pressure in the virtual system was comparable to that in the experimental work. This study highlighted the potential of predicting the pressure applied by the garment using 3D simulation model.
