Medical devices play a crucial role in modern healthcare, enabling diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation across a wide range of medical conditions. From simple tools such as wound dressings and catheters to complex implantable systems and regenerative scaffolds, these devices rely on materials and designs that interact safely and effectively with biological tissues. Recently, electrospinning has become a popular choice for medical device developers due to its tunability and compatibility with a wide range of polymers.
In this application note, we discuss the ways that electrospinning has been used to enhance medical device performance with polymer nanofibers. Applications of electrospinning for medical devices include:
- Wound dressings
- Implant coatings
- Drug delivery systems
- Tissue scaffolds
- Warmth retaining textiles
