A product categorised under the category of medical textiles is wet wipes. A wet wipe is a cloth-like product that has been moistened and is intended for a variety of cleaning tasks and it can also used to cure rashes and skin allergy. They are frequently used to clean surfaces and other things that require the gentle touch of a cloth that is typically tenderer. They are constructed of soft constituents, with variety of functions, including as baby wipes and facial tissues. Materials like cotton, viscose, polyester, polyethylene, and others are used to make them. The choice of substrate for wet wipes is made depending on durability and price. Synthetic fibres have a significant drawback in that they are non-degradable, which means they never actually decompose leads to pollution in land and water. Commercially available wet wipes may flushable or disposable, making them simple to use. This study discusses adopting an environmentally friendly product and switching to wet wipes made of natural fibres sugarcane bagasse and wood pulp as a way to get around this. Sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum) is a natural fibre that is sustainable and has several advantageous qualities, including being soft, light, breathable, and cellulosic. The fundamental benefit of employing bagasse is that it is a pure waste product that can be used in any application with just a few straightforward treatments. A variety of paper-based products are made from wood pulp, which is a type of material produced by processing wood that has been harvested from trees. The wood is processed through a variety of steps to produce paper products, such as disposable paper plates, paper towels, baby wipes, and other typical home items, as end product. Acalypha indica leaf powder is used in Siddha medicine to treat various diseases. It is said to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Moreover, herbal finishes are put on the tissues. The plant is then combined to create the medicinal textiles, which may also have antimicrobial characteristics.
