Textile materials can be used in moist wound management as fibres themselves (advanced fibres such as alginate and chitosan fibres), or conventional/advanced fibres can be modified or coated with various substances such as honey or hydrogels to obtain special properties such as ultra-absorbency, drag release, etc. In general, textiles used in wound-dressing products come in all possible forms, including fibres, nanofibres, filaments, yarns, and woven/knitted/non-woven and composite materials.
