Zusammenfassung:A wound dressing of alginate staple fibers has improved integrity when its fibers have been hydro-entangled. Even when its basis weight is as low as 50g/m , the resulting wound dressing, when saturated with saline fluids, can be removed by forceps from a wound as a single piece, having little or no residue in the wound. At basis weights below 50g/m , the wound dressing preferably includes reinforcing fibers such as rayon.
