Wicking Behavior and Physical Property of the Environment-Protective of Nonwoven Fabrics

Abstract:

Excessive bleeding becomes a primary cause for war wound death, accident death and operative death. Therefore, decreasing the bleeding time and operation time were play an important role in the preoperative period. In this study, the Tencel^® fiber and high absorbent fiber were used to produce high absorption composite nonwoven fabrics. As the result of experiment, the higher high absorption fiber that will create the high stiffness, in addition, the nonwoven has upper stiffness at cross direction. In wicking behavior, the composite nonwoven has about absorption water reach 14 g when the high absorption fiber was 50 wt%. The assessment of application for this study anticipated the resulted high absorption composite nonwoven fabrics to be used as hemostasis material to decrease the ratio of dead person on bleeding.
