More than 80% of high-tech medical textiles are imported

'Our country is a big textile country and a small textile country. Li Lingshen, president of the China Industrial Textile Industry Association, made the above statement at the science and technology forum on the application of fiber and textile structural materials in the medical field held a few days ago. A major textile country shows that we have a large number of exports of clothing and home textile products, but we are not confident in the field of industrial textiles. More than 80% of my country's high-tech medical textile materials are imported each year, with an amount exceeding US$6 billion. Zhang Xingdong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of the China Biomaterials Committee, said that at present, the United States, Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia account for 90% of the global sales market, while domestic companies generally OEM for foreign companies, and it is difficult to form core competitiveness. Difficult to get a share of the market.　　 Li Lingshen believes that the long-neglected status quo of the medical textile industry must be changed. We can make a breakthrough from disposable medical supplies such as masks and surgical gowns to biomedical textile materials such as artificial skin, and gradually reduce the proportion of imports.
