Cellulose for medical applications: Past, present, and future

Cellulose for medical applications: Past, present, and future

Films and tubes manufactured from cellulose have historically been used in the treatment of renal failure, but their use for this purpose has declined in recent years in favour of films manufactured from synthetic material blends. As the clinical application of cellulose for dialysis declines, new...
