Abstract

The structure of composite dressings is described as a combination of different textile structures such as woven, non-woven, knitted, net film and spacer fabrics. They are multi-layered, each layer having its distinct property to enhance the wound-healing process. Research and development in composite dressings is mainly focused on enhancing the functionality of these different layers so as to promote rapid wound healing and a reduction in the pain associated with wound treatment, and all this at a reduced cost. Recent developments towards improvements in non-adherent, absorbent and bacterial barrier layers are described that can reduce the frequent changes of the dressing and, thus, improve wound healing.
