MULTI-PLY TECHNICAL COMPOSITE WHICH IS BREATHABLE AND MOISTURISING, RELEASES ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS AND PROMOTES THEIR ABSORPTION, AND CAN BE USED AS A MEDICAL AID OR TO MAKE CLOTHING OR STRUCTURES THAT COME INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH HEALTHY OR DISEASED SKIN

摘要

A multi-ply technical composite, usable in particular for making medical aids, garments and medical articles, includes at least two layers ( 2, 3 ), the first of which ( 2 ), in contact with the skin, is a cotton fabric (elasticised to a greater or lesser extent) or silk, or fabrics to which chitosan, silver or another antibacterial substance or active constituent is added, and the second, outer layer ( 3 ) is constituted by a semipermeable membrane, such as polyurethane between 5 and 80 microns thick, with considerable elasticity in order to ensure the user's comfort. Receptors rechargeable with active constituents are inserted into fabric ( 2 ) and protected by the polyurethane membrane.
