Abstract
Purpose
Nowadays, textiles play a striking role in various medical applications. Compression bandages are the most essential medical fabrics that help treat venous flow and edema. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of different woven compressive bandage structures produced using compact cotton and cotton/lycra.
Design/methodology/approach
Four samples were weaved by matt-plain2/2, twill2/2, stripe-stain4 and mock-leno structures. Several properties were tested that related to structural performance. Tensile strength, elastic and sub-bandage pressure are considered the main functional properties. Three different analysis tools were performed: chart-diagram, one-factor ANOVA and radar chart area.
Findings
The woven structures critically affected the performance of woven compression bandage samples as well as their classifications.
Originality/value
The woven structures critically affected the performance of woven compression bandage samples as well as their classifications.
