Abstract (en)
An absorbent material having graduated density is manufactured by needling a web. Before needling but after tacking the web is of substantially constant density across its thickness, and needling is carried out so that the needles penetrate the web to the extent that only the surfaces of the web are needled. The absorbent material is useful in particular for medical and surgical applications, where it is desirable that the material should exhibit delayed fluid strike through.
