Dr. Narendra Pandey, President-Elect, Association of Surgeons of India and CMD, Asian Institute of Medical Sciences, pointed out that despite a number of Government initiatives, the technical textiles industry was still buffeted by problems. These include: Lack of clarity amongst investors about the future prospects of technical textiles in the absence of data on the potential growth of the sector; absence of specifications and standardization of technical textiles; no quality benchmark for technology; lack of awareness about the usefulness of the product and non-availability of raw materials.
Dr. I P Singh, Head of Surgery, Jagpravesh Hospital, Government of Delhi, said it was critical to ensure that non-woven surgical dressings were biocompatible, had good resistance to alkalis, acids and micro-organisms, good dimensional stability and elasticity, etc.
Mr. A B Joshi, Textile Commissioner, Government of India, gave a vote of thanks.
