REINFORCED FIBER WEB AND WOUND DRESSING MATERIAL INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275271 titled 'REINFORCED FIBER WEB AND WOUND DRESSING MATERIAL INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a reinforced fiber web used in wound dressing materials. The web consists of two fiber webs with a reinforcing mesh in between, all physically entangled. The wound dressing material includes the reinforced fiber web, a wound-contact scrim, and an antimicrobial layer.
- The reinforced fiber web is made up of two fiber webs and a reinforcing mesh.
- The wound dressing material includes the reinforced fiber web, a wound-contact scrim, and an antimicrobial layer.
- The wound-contact scrim is made of water-sensitive fibers with specific monomer units.
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in medical settings for wound care, specifically in creating advanced wound dressing materials.
Problems Solved
This technology helps improve the effectiveness of wound dressings by providing a reinforced fiber web that enhances the overall performance of the dressing.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved wound care outcomes, increased durability of wound dressings, and potential antimicrobial properties to prevent infections.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be commercialized for medical supply companies to produce advanced wound dressing materials for healthcare facilities.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include patents or publications related to wound dressing materials with reinforced fiber webs or antimicrobial layers.

Original Abstract Submitted
A reinforced fiber web has first and second opposed major sides and comprises first and second fiber webs having a reinforcing mesh disposed therebetween. The first and second fiber webs are physically entangled with each other and the reinforcing mesh. A wound dressing material comprises the reinforced fiber web, a first wound-contact scrim, and a first antimicrobial layer sandwiched therebetween. The first wound-contact scrim comprises water-sensitive fibers comprising a copolymer comprising divalent hydroxyethylene monomer units and divalent dihydroxybutylene monomer units.
