Abstract
Methods and devices for treating wounds are provided. The device is uniquely constructed of multiple strands that are bound together in a minimal area resulting in a device constructed predominantly of free floating, loose strands. The free floating, loose strands, make the device flexible, allowing it to easily conform to irregular contours of wound beds and cavities. In addition, the free floating strands maximize the surface area of the device thereby optimizing the absorption capacity. The device improves overall wound healing by uniquely regulating moisture control at the wound and wound dressing device interface. Wound healing is further enhanced by facilitation of autolytic debridement which occurs as a result of mechanical interaction between the free floating strands and the wound site.
