Abstract: A wound dressing, including fibers containing silver ions. The fibers are manufactured by dissolving silver nitrate into a polymer solution in the substantial absence of light, and then extruding the obtained solution into fibers by wet spinning process. The silver content of the wound dressing is between 0.01-10% by weight, and preferably 0.1-7% by weight.

Abstract: A chemically modified cellulose/alginate co-spun (seacell) fiber, a wound dressing made therefrom and a preparation method thereof. The seacell fiber is subject to a chemical modification through which a hydrophilic carboxymethyl group is introduced into the cellulose structure making the chemically modified seacell fiber more absorbent. The modified cellulose has a degree of substitution of 0.05-0.5; the seacell fiber has a linear density of 0.5-5 dtex and a fiber length of 5-180 mm. The seacell fiber has hygroscopic and gel-forming properties, while retaining its active ingredient of algae particles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemically modified cellulose/alginate co-spun (seacell) fibres, wound dressing made therefrom and preparation method thereof. The seacell fibres are subject to a chemical modification through which a hydrophilic carboxymethyl group is introduced into the cellulose structure making the chemically modified seacell fibres more absorbent. The modified cellulose has a degree of substitution of 0.05-0.5; the seacell fibres have a linear density of 0.5-5 dtex and a fibre length of 5-180 mm. The present invention enables seacell fibres to have hygroscopic and gel-forming properties, while retaining its active ingredient of algae particles. The dressing made from this material can provide a combined benefit of CMC and alginate to the chronic wounds, enhancing the benefits of the moist wound healing environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a silver containing antimicrobial fibre, fabric and wound dressing and its method of manufacturing. Silver ions are evenly distributed in the interior or on a surface of an antibacterial fibre structure. The silver content in the dressing is 0.01-10 weight %. As wound treatment dressing, the fibre wound dressing has a capability of continuously releasing a sufficient amount of silver, is particularly suitable for chronic wound treatment, can provide a long-term and effective antibacterial function, and can effectively prevent various bacteria or other microorganisms from infecting a wound.
