Fiber materials with improved properties for use in wound treatment
Described is a fiber material comprising a substrate of non-ionic, non-woven fibers, and at least one additional component, which is an agent that comprises at least one group capable of forming a hydrogen bond, wherein a combination of the substrate and the agent causes the fiber material to have an increased wet tensile strength of at least 5%, as measured in accordance with EN 29073-3:1992, as compared to an otherwise identical fiber material without the agent. The fiber material can be of use in various fields, in particular household products, hygiene products, and the like. These fiber materials are of particular use in wound treatment.
