A product, especially used as a wound dressing, comprises an absorbent mat having a polymeric material applied on at least one surface in a discontinuous layer, such that the surface is rendered non-adherent to skin or tissue and remains absorbent to body and other fluids. Preferably, an absorbent mat 20 has particles 24 of polymer powder (especially polypropylene) distributed on its surface, and then the mat is heated to cause the polymer to soften and spread over the surface to form agglomerates 26. <IMAGE> |
