A debridement sponge made from a nonwoven fabric comprising, in a preferred form, yarn-like strands of bleached cotton fibers. Tn the preferred form, the strands are interconnected at multiple junctures to form fewer than 31 generally rectangular apertures per cm2. Moreover, each aperture has an area of 1.3 mm2. Furthermore, the fabric has a Calculated Strand Density of 0.17 g/cc, a Clarity Index of at least 0.75, and an Absorbent Capacity of at least 7 grams of a colored, aqueous, saline solution per gram of the fabric when compressed under a pressure of 3.3 g/cm2. Plug Harshness and Compression Recovery of the fabric are excellent. |
