SUMMARY:Biomedical Textiles: From Fibers to Life-Saving Devices
LOCATION:Human Ecology Building (HEB) T01\, 42.4505\,-76.4786
DESCRIPTION:Textiles play a unique and often hidden role in implantable me
 dical devices\, where fibers and fabrics are engineered to provide functi
 ons such as sealing\, reinforcement\, protection\, and scaffolding for ti
 ssue ingrowth. This presentation will introduce key design principles for
  translating textile structures into implantable components for medical d
 evice. The talk will illustrate how weaving\, knitting\, braiding\, 3D te
 xtile construction\, and finishing technologies can be tailored to solve 
 specific medical-device design challenges. Through practical examples\, i
 t will highlight lessons learned in balancing performance\, ease of manuf
 acturing\, and business value.\n\nDr. Ting He is a Senior Principal Engin
 eer and Textile Subject Matter Expert in R&D at Edwards Lifesciences\, sp
 ecializing in the development and commercialization of advanced textile t
 echnologies for structural heart disease devices. With a Ph.D. in Fiber a
 nd Polymer Science from North Carolina State University\, Dr. He brings e
 xpertise in tissue engineering\, biomedical textile design\, fabric engin
 eering\, and manufacturing processes development. Prior to joining Edward
 s\, Dr. He spent six years at The LYCRA Company in End Use Research Repre
 sentatives in apparel business\, driving fiber\, yarn\, and fabric innova
 tions and supporting global product launches across the textile value cha
 in. Dr. He is an inventor with multiple patents and invention records\, a
 n author of technical publications and books\, and an active contributor
