Abstract
Abstract The textile fabric is used as a wound dressing in much the same way as dressing gauze with improved characteristics compared with the latter and comprises a central web portion of man-made fibers having a high surface tension, and on either side thereof web portions formed from absorbent, cellulosic yarns. The central web portion is connected by looping to the outer web portions so that after folding, a nonstick wound dressing is obtained in which the hydrophobic man-made fibers functioning as the wound covering, come to rest on the wound, while the folded layers of cellulosic fibers behind it, act as an absorbent layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A comprising a broad-width knitted or raschel-knitted web (100) of absorbent, hydrophilic cellulosic spun yarns (111, 112), a strip-like web section (120) of hydrophobic man-made fibers of synthetic polymers having a high surface tension interconnected to the knitted by looping within a plane, wherein the strip-like web section (120) is formed as central strip in the web (100) of knitted fabric (10), the knitted web and the strip-like web section being folded so as to form a wound pad (200) such that the web section (120) of the hydrophobic man-made fibers, as hydrophobic covering layer (210), forms the wound pad and layers of cellulosic spun yarns are located behind the web section to form absorbent layers (220, 221, 222, 223), wherein the diameters of the absorbent, hydrophilic cellulosic yarns and the hydrophobic man-made fibers range between 10 tex and 40 tex, wherein monofilaments, multifilament yarns and staple fiber yarns are used as the hydrophobic man-made yarns.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
156 words
