Abstract: The invention provides a method for preparing a wound dressing, comprising activating a textile carrier to form between about 0.026 and 0.06 mg-equiv. of aldehyde groups per gram of carrier, impregnating the activated carrier in a solution of at least one bioactive enzyme and drying the same, whereby there is produced a wound dressing from which the bioactive enzyme is releasable in effective amounts for a period of at least 3 days upon the dressing being brought into contact with a moist surface.

Abstract: A single warp-knitted pile fabric comprising loop courses of ground and pile threads, wherein the loops of the pile threads are run jointly with the ground loops and interconnected by the floats of these loops. Transfers are run on from the pile threads in the same courses as the loops of these pile threads. The floats of the transfers are laid in some courses to overlie the floats of the ground loops, whereas in other courses the floats of the transfers are laid to underlie the floats of the ground loops.

Abstract: The device comprises a flexible band, composed of two layers which are established by the band being folded back, which band is associated with an energy-absorbing member. The members are fashioned as a plurality of loops from an elastic long-sized material, which are fastened on the band between its layers. The loops of the band layers are consecutively interconnected by virtue of tricot knit in a direction from the ends of the band towards the place where it is folded back. One of the ends of the band may be connected to a stationary fixed support, while applied to the other end may be a load F directed to destruct the knit in a direction opposite to that of unknitting. The most promising practical application of the present invention lies with shock absorbers of safety belts for builders, erectors, mountaineers, as well as with automobile safety seat belts.
