ABSTRACT:
A wound dressing has its wound-contacting surface composed of a tow or strand of textile filaments at least 15 mm long or a fabric of textile filaments at least 3 mm long, substantially all of the filaments being non-crosslinked carboxymethylcellulose filaments capable of absorbing at least 15 times their own weight of 0.9% aqueous saline solution. The wound-contacting surface forms a swollen, transparent gel which retains sufficient fibrous character to be removable as a coherent dressing from the wound.
