A central web of absorbent fibrous material and two outer webs of hydrophobic or semi-hydrophobic fibres are subjected to a hydroentangling process in order to produce a single layer integrated finish composite non-woven material (16). A series of tapes (18) are incorporated in a spaced apart relationship e.g. by bonding longitudinally and compression into one surface of the composite (16). The material is subsequently cut to provide individual products e.g. dressings (20) having sections of the tapes (18) as integral tabs or flaps (22) to facilitate handling and positioning of the products. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> |
