The invention provides a method and system for producing an improved
dressing product, useful for covering/protecting a moist wound. The
dressing product comprising fibres of a spinnable polymer forming a
twisted ribbon. By virtue of this twisting, the fibres, in particular at
the periphery of the ribbon, are connected to one another so as to afford
better mechanical cohesion and a smoother outer appearance, without
affecting the action of absorption, dilation and gel formation for
extracting the biological fluid, nor the action of retention of proteins
and other cellular and bacterial waste matter which would impede the
phenomenon of cicatrization. The ribbon twisting equipment comprises a
conical bowl (1) for driving fibres in rotation with a twisting die (3)
in its narrowed downstream part (2), and a means (4) for driving in
rotation.
