Preliminary Research of Composite Dressing Fabric

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dressing is used to prevent the bacterial infection when trauma is in contact with the outside air, to inhibit vivo moisture loss and then to accelerate wound healing. So the dressing nonwoven fabric needs to have good vapor permeability, comfortableness and flexibility. In addition, the far infrared fiber has ability to accelerate the wound healing. Therefore, in this research, the far infrared fiber and absorbent cotton were used to produce composite dressing fabric. By changes of blending contents of the above two fibers, the properties of dressing fabrics including vapor permeability, water absorption and flexibility were all evaluated for future application.
