A multi-ply technical composite, usable in particular for making medical
aids, garments and medical articles, includes at least two layers (2, 3),
the first of which (2), in contact with the skin, is a cotton fabric
(elasticised to a greater or lesser extent) or silk, or fabrics to which
chitosan, silver or another antibacterial substance or active constituent
is added, and the second, outer layer (3) is constituted by a
semipermeable membrane, such as polyurethane between 5 and 80 microns
thick, with considerable elasticity in order to ensure the user's
comfort. Receptors rechargeable with active constituents are inserted
into fabric (2) and protected by the polyurethane membrane.
