The present invention relates to a fibrous hemostat composition that is able to safely gradually and fully degrade in a human or animal body within about 30 days and so can be utilized by physicians to stem a flow of blood and promote healing both after as well as during surgical procedures.

Provided is a spun-bonded nonwoven fabric including fibers formed of a resin composition that contains: a propylene polymer (A); and a polymer (B) which is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, other than the propylene polymer (A), and polyesters. The fibers have a sea-island structure. The fibers include fibers in which a ratio of island phases having a diameter of less than 0.32 ?m among those island phases at a cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the fibers is 60% or higher on a number basis. In the spun-bonded nonwoven fabric, a ratio (S.sub.MB/S.sub.CB) of the tensile strength (S.sub.MD) in a machine flow direction (MD) with respect to the tensile strength (S.sub.CD)) in a direction (CD) perpendicular to the machine flow direction (MD) is from 2.0 to 5.1.

The invention relates to melt spun multifilaments based on thermoplastic polyurethane, their production and the use of said melt spun multifilaments to produce technical textiles and clothing such as socks, stockings, compression textiles like medical bandage, surgical hose, orthopedic elastic bandage, sport textiles, underwear etc.

The present invention relates to a fibrous haemostat composition that is able to safely gradually and fully degrade in a human or animal body within about 30 days and so can be utilised by physicians to stem a flow of blood and promote healing both after as well as during surgical procedures.

Adhesive fascial tape having a composite material of natural fibers, such as cotton, artificial fibers, such as nylon, polyester and elastomer or a combination thereof forming plied or cabled filament yarns forming an openwork structure with a plain, twill or satin weave of at least 3 and up to 10 is provided, which may be broken or crossed both in weft and in warp, and where the weft yarns of the structure have a density of 1-35 picks/cm and the warp threads 1-40 ends/cm. Attached to the said tape is a lower layer of synthetic acrylic resin adhesive having spaces or lines without adhesive, creating a symmetric repetitive sinuous pattern with an angle of 45 with respect to the weft.

A method for removing eye makeup comprises: providing a makeup removal cloth comprising a bamboo fabric having an interlock knit; moistening the makeup removal cloth with water or a makeup removal fluid; positioning the makeup removal cloth at an inner portion of an eyelid or under eye region of the user; and moving the makeup removal cloth from the inner portion of the eyelid or under eye region to an outer portion of the eyelid or under eye region.

A composite sheet that includes a first sheet and a second sheet is disclosed. The first and second sheets are bonded to each other at a number of spaced apart discrete inter-sheet bond locations. The first sheet is a nonwoven material that has discrete three-dimensional deformations therein forming protrusions that extend outward from the first surface of the first sheet to their distal ends and wide base openings adjacent to the second surface of the first sheet. The second sheet is a generally planar sheet that contacts the distal ends of the protrusions on the first sheet. The second sheet is bonded to the first sheet at spaced apart inter-sheet bond locations where the first region of the first sheet contacts the second sheet.

Methods of treating fibers comprising a polymer including at least one of a vinyl acetate moiety or a vinyl alcohol moiety, and resulting fibers or the products comprising the resulting fibers are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a fiber having a surface region and an interior region, includes a polymer comprising at least one of a vinyl acetate moiety or a vinyl alcohol moiety chemically modified with a modification agent. The fiber has a transverse cross-section including the interior region comprising the polymer having a first degree of modification and the surface region comprising the polymer having a second degree of modification greater than the first degree of modification.

Nonwoven materials having a first region and a plurality of discrete integral second regions that are in the form of three-dimensional deformations forming protrusions that extend outward from the first surface of the nonwoven material and wide base openings adjacent to the second surface of the nonwoven material are disclosed. The nonwoven materials include at least two layers that are each formed of a plurality of fibers. The first region has a first light transmission value and the second regions have a second light transmission value.

The field of the DISCLOSURE lies in adaptive materials for implementation in textiles, wearables and smart clothing. The present disclosure relates to functional fabrics or devices, comprising flexible fabrics or fiber-based materials which reversibly change shape upon stimulation with temperature and/or electrical (electrical field and/or charge) and/or upon applying tension. The present disclosure also relates to the use of said functional fabrics or devices, in particular for changing the hardness-softness in wearables or in parts of objects, or as variable friction layer in robotic grippers. The present disclosure also relates to wearable electronics, smart clothing, sport bandages and compression stockings, flexible sheet heaters. The present disclosure also relates to functional fabrics or devices and theirs uses in shape morphing fabrics, as soft/hard powered exoskeletons for posture corrective/supportive wearables or robotic artificial muscles.
