Biomedical Textile Research Group

Implantable and Surgical Biotextiles

Our lab excels in developing sophisticated surgical and implantable textiles, such as vascular grafts, drug-delivery systems, surgical sutures, tendon scaffolds, stent-grafts, hernia meshes, and embolic filters. These products, integral to our broad portfolio, are engineered for maximum biocompatibility and resorbability to improve tissue integration, accelerate recovery, and minimize the need for secondary surgical interventions.

Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering

Our lab designs tissue engineering scaffolds using polymeric biomaterials, which mimic biological environments to facilitate cell growth and tissue repair. We concentrate on understanding how the microenvironment affects cell behavior and thus develop adjustable biomaterials to explore and improve these interactions for advanced tissue regeneration.

Medical Textiles for Healthcare

Our research is dedicated to developing medical textiles for the healthcare industry, such as antimicrobial surgical gowns and linens, to improve infection control and safety. Our approach integrates advanced material science with clinical requirements to produce long-lasting, high-performance textiles that enhance healthcare outcomes and operational efficiency in medical settings.
