Abstract: Calotropis commonly called milk weed is a large shrub belongs to Apocynaceae family, species Calotropis gigantea which can yield a durable fibre commercially known as “bowstrings of India”. It is grown in water scary areas which do not require fertilizer andcultivation.The object of creating a knee bandit out of bamboo knit fabric and Calotropis gaigantea leaf extract is to investigate the possibilities of employing natural materials to create useful and environmentally responsible medical devices. The plant Calotropis Gaigantea is well-known for its therapeutic qualities. It has been utilized historically for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits. Knitted bamboo cloth is a great starting point for making a knee bandit because of its antibacterial, breathable, and comfortable qualities. In this study, bioactive components from CALOTROPIS GIGATEA leaves are extracted and then integrated using environmentally friendly methods into bamboo knitted fabric. This plant, particularly its latex, is known for its medicinal properties, including wound healing and potential anti-inflammatory effects. The study investigates the use of leaf extract from this plant Bamboo is a sustainable and renewable resource, making it an environmentally friendly base for the bandage. Its properties, like good moisture absorption and breathability, are also beneficial for a knee bandage.The research aims to create a knee bandage that combines the wound-healing capabilities of Calotropis gigantea with the sustainability and functional properties of bamboo fabric.

By using Calotropis gigantea leaf extract's unique bioactive qualities to bamboo knit fabric, the current work aims to create a functional knee bandit. Calotropis gigantea was chosen as a sustainable substitute for synthetic treatments frequently found in therapeutic fabrics because of its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial qualities. Because bamboo cloth is naturally soft, breathable, and antibacterial, it was selected as the perfect substrate for wearable health applications.
