Abstract
Disclosed is a nonwoven, textile sponge for use in medical and hygienic applications consisting of at least one outer, thermally consolidated, moisture-repellent fiber layer containing at least 80% synthetic heterofil filaments and at least one layer of absorbent fibers. The sponge is perforated, but does not have any substantial fiber entanglement, and contains no binding agent of any kind. Also disclosed is a method for the manufacture of the sponge, in which the fiber nonwovens are laid one on the other, hydraulically perforated without fiber entanglement, and then thermally consolidated through heterofil filaments.
