Abstract: |
A surgical dressing is provided for direct contact with the wound. The dressing is well suited for placing on the healing area since like surgical gauze it is substantially free from the tendency to deposit loose fibers in the wound site. The construction of the dressing can be readily varied to accomplish selected purposes in terms of bulk, absorbency, feel, etc.

I claim:
1. A surgical dressing adapted to be placed as a four-ply sponge directly upon a wound site comprising a laminated assembly in sequence of a gauze fabric facing layer, a wet-strength fluid-transmissible nonwoven fabric layer, and an absorbent fiber layer, the layers being generally rectilinear and coextensive except for the facing layer which in single ply is wider so that edge portions extend beyond the lateral edges of the other layers, the edge portions being infolded at the lateral edges and the free ends also being infolded, the resulting assembly being adapted to be machine folded twice in half to provide a four-ply sponge having facing surfaces substantially free of long fibers.
