Disclosed is a method for making a composite material, which is of particular use in wound treatment. The composite material has a hydrophilic polyurethane foam material with a first polyurethane polymer; a hydrophilic fiber material having a second polymer, wherein said second polymer is not a polyurethane polymer and wherein said fiber material is capable of absorbing and retaining a fluid. The first polymer is covalently bonded to the second polymer.

Composite materials in wound treatment

A composite material is described, which is of particular use in wound treatment, and to a method for producing said composite material is also described. The composite material has a first foam layer having a first hydrophilic polyurethane foam material, and, in immediate contact therewith, a second foam layer having a second hydrophilic polyurethane foam material, which second hydrophilic foam material is different from the first hydrophilic foam material.

Composite foam in wound treatment

The present invention relates to a hydrophilic foam material, which is of particular use in wound treatment, and to a method for producing said hydrophilic foam material. The hydrophilic foam material has nucleating particles, wherein at least 85% of all foam cells in said foam material have an average cell size of 0.01 mmor less.

Foam in wound treatment

The present invention relates to a composite material, which is of particular use in wound treatment, and to a method for producing the same composite material. Said composite material comprises a hydrophilic polyurethane foam material comprising a first polyurethane polymer; a hydrophilic fiber material comprising a second polymer, wherein said second polymer is not a polyurethane polymer and wherein said fiber material is capable of absorbing and retaining a fluid. In the composite material according to the present invention, said first polymer is covalently bonded to said second polymer.
