With the continuous progress of science and technology, fiber materials have shown great application potential in the field of medical devices due to their unique physical and chemical properties and good biocompatibility. From the traditional natural fiber to the modern high-performance synthetic fiber, to the emerging carbon-based and liquid metal fiber, fiber materials continue to promote the innovation and development of medical devices. This paper reviews the wide application of fiber materials in the field of medical devices and its future trends. The introduction of different kinds of fiber materials and their application in medical dressings, artificial skin, slow-release drug fibers and medical sutures are discussed. This paper aims to comprehensively comb the application status of fiber materials in medical devices, and discuss their future development trend, so as to provide reference for research and application in related fields.
