Abstract
A wound dressing material comprises first and second wound-contact scrims, and an antimicrobial layer disposed therebetween. The wound-contact scrims comprise water-sensitive fibers comprising a copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units. The wound dressing material may be contacted with an exposed surface of a wound. A method of making the wound dressing material is also disclosed.
Claims15
A wound dressing material comprising:
- a first wound-contact scrim comprising first water-sensitive fibers, wherein the first water-sensitive fibers comprise a first copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units;
- a second wound-contact scrim comprising second water-sensitive fibers, wherein the second water-sensitive fibers comprise a second copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units, wherein the first wound-contact scrim and the second wound-contact scrim are different;
- and
- an antimicrobial layer contacting and disposed between the first wound-contact scrim and the second wound-contact scrim.
A method of making a wound dressing material, the method comprising bonding:
- a first wound-contact scrim comprising first water-sensitive fibers, wherein the first water-sensitive fibers comprise a first copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units;
- a second wound-contact scrim comprising second water-sensitive fibers, wherein the second water-sensitive fibers comprise a second copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units, wherein the first wound-contact scrim and the second wound-contact scrim are different;
- and
- an antimicrobial layer contacting and disposed between the first wound-contact scrim and the second wound-contact scrim.
