“…Closed pillar stitches are used as the ground for these fabrics and separate pillar wales are connected by weft threads. 24,25 In order to improve the stretchability and flexibility of the fabric, bare elastomer threads are positioned between the overlaps and underlaps. 26 It was found that the linear density of the weft yarns and the pretension of both elastomer threads and the ground yarns are the main parameters that affect the stretch properties of the elastic warp knitted fabric.…”

The demand for medical textile products is increasing with awareness regarding better healthcare services and efficient medical treatments. Compared to other textiles, elastic warp knitted materials, which have elastomer threads in each wale have been widely used in producing medical and preventive products. Thus, in order to decrease the weight and cost of these products without effect on fabric’s stretchability, in this study, various elastic warp knitted fabrics were produced using different raw materials and elastomer threading arrangements, and their properties were investigated. The fabrics were produced on a crochet knitting machine with five different arrangements of elastomer threading and four different laid-in yarn materials as polyester, cotton, and linen. Then the dimensional properties and elastic behaviors of the samples were determined and evaluated comparatively. Statistical analysis showed that all studied elastic warp knitted fabrics have high provide elasticity at a higher than 95% level. On the other hand, the mass per unit area of the fabric is reduced, with the use of linen yarn as weft yarn, or when the total linear density of the weft yarn and the amount of elastomer threads decrease. Finally, the obtained results revealed the possibility to reduce elastomer consumption to decrease weight for elastic medical products, which were developed, without effect on fabric’s stretchability and elasticity as well as replacing synthetic threads with natural yarns in order to improve product comfort.

“…[9][10][11] In the case of elastic warp-knitted medical garments, they are required to be stable and maintain the level of compression and assure the product's comfort for the duration of use, as well. 12 The comfort properties of knitted fabrics are associated with their structural parameters. An increase in fabric density and elastomer yarn ratio results in higher elasticity, compressibility and better fit.…”

The aim of this study is to determine the performance properties of elastic warp-knitted fabrics used for medical purposes. The samples were knitted using different weft yarn material and changing the threading order of elastomer yarn. The detailed results of the dimensional and elasticity performance of elastic warp-knitted fabrics had been reported in Part I of this series. In this part, the effects of weft yarn material and the threading order of elastomer yarn on the thermal comfort characteristics were investigated. It has been seen that the type and linear density of the transverse weft yarns and the number of elastomer yarns in the fabric structure affected significantly the thermal comfort and permeability characteristics of the developed elastic warp-knitted fabrics. According to the results, using polyester yarns as weft and reducing the number of elastomer yarns led to an increase in air permeability. Additionally, the thermal conductivity characteristics of the fabrics increased as the number of elastomer yarns in the structure increased. It has been seen that from the results, the water vapour resistance coefficient of the samples is appropriate for the usage of these fabrics in medical products.

One of the tasks of dressings in the process of wound treatment is to remove exudate. In the optimal case, this intensity is determined individually for each wound. Active medical textiles take advantage of the capillary effect that occurs in thin channels. For these purposes, medical materials are created from porous structures. To create back pressure in foamed medical materials, the pores must be in the form of channels, which is not realized with conventional technologies. The use of magnetic nanopowders based on iron oxide as an additive ensures the formation of channels of the required shape in the foamed materials. This effect makes it possible to increase the efficiency of foam structures when used as medical materials.
