A wound dressing for hemostasis is provided. The wound dressing is made of carboxylated cellulose and comprises a fibrous textile support including a first surface portion and a second surface portion opposite the first surface portion. Utilized, the fabric has flexibility, strength and porosity effective for use as a haemostatic material, and furthermore, its first and second surface portions and the interior of the fabric A porous polymer matrix that is substantially homogeneously distributed, wherein the porous polymer matrix is a biocompatible, water-soluble or water-swellable cellulose polymer. Wherein, prior to the distribution of the polymeric substrate on and within the fabric, the fabric contains about 3% by weight or more water-soluble oligosaccharides. . [Selection diagram] FIG. |
