Medical textiles remain one of the most dynamic areas of research in textiles. Medical and healthcare textiles is the fourth in a series of conferences held at the University of Bolton. Like its predecessors, it has attracted papers from some of the leading international centres of expertise in the field. Contributors cover a range of topics including emerging textile-based biomaterials, hygienic textiles, the use of textiles in infection control and as barrier materials, bandaging and pressure garments for managing chronic infections such as ulcers, the role of textiles in the management of b

Bei der Behandlung von Patienten mit medizinischen Hilfsmitteln ist deren hohe Therapiemitarbeit besonders wichtig, weil die Behandlung kontinuierlich und über mehrere Wochen erfolgt. Eine mangelnde Therapiemitarbeit (sog. Non-Compliance) stellt ein wesentliches Problem in der Patientenversorgung dar, da dadurch der medizinische Behandlungserfolg begrenzt und die Durchführung von Studien erschwert wird. Die Einbeziehung von Patientenbedürfnissen in der Produktentwicklung und Produktverbesserung ist daher für Entwicklungsingenieure, Hersteller und Kostenträger von besonderer Relevanz, um die Therapiemitarbeit der Patienten zu steigern. Susanne D. Dannehl untersucht in ihrer Dissertation Probleme von Patienten bei der Verwendung von Orthesen der unteren Extremität, also Stützschienen. Diese Therapiemaßnahme wird z. B. nach Kreuzbandruptur, Achillessehnenruptur oder Frakturen der Fuß- bzw. Sprunggelenkknochen durchgeführt, um den Patienten möglichst früh zu mobilisieren. Es werden denkbare Barrieren im Umgang mit dem verordneten Hilfsmittel analysiert, wobei als therapiebezogene Faktoren die Produktmerkmale betrachtet werden. Für eine patientenbezogene Verbesserung der Therapiemitarbeit werden die Strategien der Patienten im Umgang mit dem Hilfsmittel untersucht und ein Interventionsangebot überprüft, das die Patienten in der kontinuierlichen Orthesennutzung unterstützen soll. Daraus können entsprechende Empfehlungen für eine nutzergerechte Gestaltung der untersuchten Medizinprodukte und für den Therapieablauf abgeleitet werden.

The Case Studies in Medical Devices Design series consists of practical, applied case studies relating to medical device design in industry. These titles complement Ogrodnik's Medical Device Design and will assist engineers with applying the theory in practice. The case studies presented directly relate to Class I, Class IIa, Class IIb and Class III medical devices. Designers and companies who wish to extend their knowledge in a specific discipline related to their respective class of operation will find any or all of these titles a great addition to their library. Class 1 Devices is a com
