  • Super absorbent wound dressing
    Patent number: 5961478
    Abstract: This invention relates to wound dressings with the ability to absorb large amounts of wound fluids and water. For this purpose a super absorbent fiber is used, preferably consisting of polyacrylnitrile. The absorptive power of this fiber is obtained by saponification of surface molecules of the fiber. Through this, the core of the fiber will remain inviolable and the stability of the fiber is ensured. Therefore, wound dressings with super absorbent qualities can be easily produced.
