PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wound covering material that forms a wet environment required for the proliferation of epidermal cells, inhibits a rise in the pH of a wound surface due to the elution of an alkali component, and also can elute a wound healing component and an antibacterial component.SOLUTION: A wound covering material comprises a complex of a gel forming fiber composed of a water-soluble or hydrophilic polymer having an acidic functional group, and a glass fiber containing B2O3 and CaO as a glass component.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】表皮細胞の増殖に必要な湿潤環境を形成するとともに、アルカリ成分の溶出による創面のpH上昇を抑制し、しかも創傷治癒成分及び抗菌性成分を溶出可能な創傷被覆材を提供する。【解決手段】酸性官能基を有する水溶性又は親水性の高分子から成るゲル形成繊維とガラス構成成分としてB2O3とCaOを含有するガラス繊維との複合体からなることを特徴とする。【選択図】なし
