Abstract
The textile fabric is used as a wound dressing in much the same way as dressing gauze with improved characteristics compared with the latter and comprises a central web portion of man-made fibers having a high surface tension, and on either side thereof web portions formed from absorbent, cellulosic yarns. The central web portion is connected by looping to the outer web portions so that after folding, a nonstick wound dressing is obtained in which the hydrophobic man-made fibers functioning as the wound covering, come to rest on the wound, while the folded layers of cellulosic fibers behind it, act as an absorbent layer.
