ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses an alginate dressing comprising a fibrous alginate layer needle punched to a non-alginate backing web such that fibers from the alginate layer penetrate into and are interlocked with the backing web thereby affixing the alginate layer to the backing web. The dressing exhibits improved absorbency and long-term stability when used in the treatment of wounds. The dressing also eliminates the need for adhesives and secondary dressings for retaining an alginate fibrous dressing on a wound site.
