Alginatstoff mit verbesserter Absorbierbarkeit und Verfahren zur Herstellung

摘要

A non-woven fabric of alginate staple fibres, characterised in that the absorbency of the fabric is greater than 25.0 grams of deionised water or 19.0 grams of saline water per gram of fabric as measured with reference to the test method depicted in Figure 1, is prepared by a modified needle-tacking process. The fabric is useful for the preparation of wound and burn dressings.
