Described is a fiber material comprising a substrate of non-ionic, non-woven fibers, and at least one additional component, which is an agent that comprises at least one group capable of forming a hydrogen bond, wherein a combination of the substrate and the agent causes the fiber material to have an increased wet tensile strength of at least 5%, as measured in accordance with EN 29073-3:1992, as compared to an otherwise identical fiber material without the agent. The fiber material can be of use in various fields, in particular household products, hygiene products, and the like. These fiber materials are of particular use in wound treatment.

Fiber materials with improved properties for use in wound treatment

Described is a fiber material having a substrate of non-ionic, non-woven fibers, and at least one additional component, which is an agent that comprises at least one group capable of forming a hydrogen bond, wherein the non-ionic, non-woven fibers are crosslinked by the agent. The fiber material can be of use in various fields, in particular household products, hygiene products and the like, these fiber materials are of particular use in wound treatment.

Disclosed are materials comprising a fiber material and an agent having at least one having improved tensile strength, in particular wet tensile strength, vis-&#xe0;-vis fiber materials known from the art. While these fiber materials may be of use in various fields, in particular household products, hygiene products and the like, these fiber materials are of particular use in wound treatment. Also disclosed is a method for producing these materials.

A composite material (and its manufacture) is described that has (i) a first layer comprising an absorbent fiber material that is in contact with the area of use on its first side, (ii) a second layer comprising an absorbent material, said second layer being arranged on the second side of said first layer, wherein a plurality of channels extends through the entire first layer, from said first side to said second side thereof, and further extends into at least a portion of said second layer. This composite is of particular use in wound treatment.
