Wound dressing fabric absorbents

Other textile materials used for wound dressing applications include gauze, lint, and wadding. Gauze is an open weave, absorbent fabric that, when coated with paraffin wax, is used for the treatment of bums and scalds. In surgical applications gauze serves as an absorbent material when used in pad form (swabs) yams containing... [Pg.141]

Many nonwoven structures used for absorbent wound dressings exhibit anisotropic fluid transmission characteristics in the vertical and lateral directions of the fabric structure. The orientation of fibers within these materials is the main factor affecting anisotropic fluid transmission, and can be manipulated to design desirable transport properties by using appropriate fabric porosity, fiber diameter, and orientation distribution. [Pg.63]
