Super absorbent wound dressing

摘要

This invention relates to wound dressings with the ability to absorb large amounts of wound fluids and water. For this purpose a super absorbent fibre is used, preferably consisting of polyacrylnitrile. The absorptive power of this fibre is obtained by saponification of surface molecules of the fibre. Through this the core of the fibre will remain inviolable and the stability of the fibre is ensured. Therefore wound dressings with super absorbent qualities can be easily produced.
