Abstract
A wound dressing for covering a wound includes a textile layer woven by polyacrylonitrile-based activated carbon fiber, and an absorbent layer provided on one side of the textile layer away from the wound. The activated carbon fiber is produced by polyacrylonitrile oxidized fiber in a moisturized carbon dioxide atmosphere at the temperature of 700° C. to 1200° C. for 1 to 60 minutes. The material of the absorbent layer is cotton, alginate, poly vinyl alcohol, or a combination thereof. The water absorbing ability of the absorbent layer is superior to that of the textile layer. Because the textile layer does not produce dust and can keep dry, the hard-to-heal wounds can be prevented.
