Abstract
AbstractIn order to explore the potential application of Ramie fibre (RF) in medical dressing, the absorbency ratio of ramie fibre cloth, medical gauze and natural cotton fibre cloth was tested, and the factors affecting the absorbency ratio of materials were analysed. Meanwhile, the hemocompatibility of the three fibre materials were also studied. The results showed that the RF cloth had good moisture absorption and hemocompatibility. Therefore, RF is a potential material for medical dressing.
