Wound Dressing Utilising Nonwoven Wool Matrix

Abstract:

Textile substrates can be treated with suitable polymer solutions to enhance the surface functionality. This paper highlights the application of chitosan (CHT) on 100% wool nonwoven matrix using traditional pad-dry-cure method; and its potential application in medical textiles, specifically wound dressing products. 100% wool nonwoven matrices were prepared by a needle punching process and applied with different concentrations of CHT. The blood uptake and antimicrobial efficacy was evaluated for the CHT-treated samples. It was shown that 0.3% CHT-treated samples demonstrated good absorbency and excellent antimicrobial properties.
