PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wound dressing of continuous fibers.SOLUTION: A method for treating a wound includes incorporating the wound dressing comprising a plurality of fibers 102, each fiber having a length of at least 2 inches, into a wound to cause walls of the wound to remain apart and allow the wound to heal from the inside to the outside, and removing exudate. According to another aspect of the disclosure, a wound dressing apparatus is configured to promote the healing of a wound, and may be used in conjunction with an NWPT system. The apparatus includes a wound cover for defining a reservoir over a wound in which a negative pressure may be maintained by forming a substantially fluid-tight seal around the wound, a vacuum source in fluid communication with the reservoir and suitable for providing an appropriate negative pressure to the reservoir to stimulate healing of the wound, and a packing structure positioned between the wound and the wound cover. |
