AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way to cleanse and debride wounds using a wound cleansing cloth made of synthetic fibers. The cloth can be easily produced and can effectively cleanse the wound by removing contaminants without causing any harm to the healing process. The synthetic fibers have the advantage of being sterilizable and can bind to the contaminants, removing them from the wound. The wound cleansing cloth can be used in a method for debridement, which involves removing biological material from the wound. The method is simple and can be performed by wiping the wound with the cloth. The invention is particularly useful for debridement, fighting bacteria in a bio-film, and treating hyper-keratoses and dead tissue cells. The threads on the cloth have ends that cut off from the carrier layer, allowing for a razorblade effect that helps remove contaminants from the wound. The carrier layer and the entire wound cleansing cloth can be made of synthetic fibers, which can be easily produced.

Problems solved by technology

Further, in prior art the extended application of specially moistened wound bandages is contested, which after an extended period of application shall achieve such a debridement effect.

The methods known in prior art are expensive and painful and partially aggressive.

In the methods of prior art this goal is not achieved to the extent desired.

Overall, the methods and means used in prior art are partially very expensive and only insufficiently fulfill the above-mentioned central requirements.
