Supple tissue dressing assemblies are formed from hydrophilic polymer sponge structures, such as chitosan. The supple tissue dressing assemblies are characterized by suppleness or multi-dimensional flexibility. The assemblies can be flexed, bent, folded, twisted, and even rolled upon itself before and during use, without creasing, cracking, fracturing, otherwise compromising the integrity and mechanical and/or therapeutic characteristics of the assemblies. |
