Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a fibrous composite material comprising a nonfibrous component having a water content of less than 10 wt. %; and a fibrous component comprising a porous scaffold of a plurality of electrospun polymeric fibers; wherein the nonfibrous component is a linear or branched, water-soluble, synthetic or natural polymer dispersed on the porous scaffold; and wherein at least 50% by weight of the fibrous composite material is the fibrous component. The fibrous composite material is useful in therapy, for instance, as a synthetic or substitute amniotic membrane. It may be used in the prevention and/or treatment of various trauma induced and chronic wounds and in ophthalmology.
