The integration of advanced textile materials is crucial to enhance the quality healthcare solutions. Three-dimensional (3D) knitted spacer fabrics (KSFs) have emerged as a revolutionary class medical textiles distinguished by their unique ability provide high breathability, moisture management, and customizable structural properties. This comprehensive review systematically examined multifaceted applications 3D KSFs in sector. It begins with an overview various design manufacturing techniques, including warp weft knitting processes, that facilitate production innovative fabrics. then details distinct functional features KSFs, emphasizing cushioning effects, porosity, adaptability, which effectiveness context. Subsequent sections explore diverse applications, wound care, where moisture-wicking capabilities promote healing, pressure ulcer prevention, leveraging evenly distribute pressure, orthopedic supports, benefit from comfort supportive characteristics. paper also discusses potential scaffold development for tissue engineering, well use assistive devices enhanced patient mobility. Emerging trends, such incorporation smart technologies real-time monitoring commitment sustainability through washable reusable designs, are critically analyzed. In turn, this provides in-depth resource professionals, researchers, product developers, highlighting transformative advancing solutions improving outcomes.
