A wound dressing laminate (2, 2a, 2b) serves especially to manufacture body-shape wound dressings. The wound dressing laminate comprises a wound-facing non-woven layer (7a, 7b) composed of non-thermoplastic carboxymethyl cellulose fibres (8) which are combined into a coherent laminate structure with a non-woven backing layer (9a, 9b) composed of thermoplastic fibres (10) selected from the group of fibres comprising polyurethane fibres, hydrophobic polypropylene fibres and/or spunlaced fibres. The wound-facing non-woven layer (7a, 7b) and the non-woven backing layer (9a, 9b) are laminated together by needle-punching.
