Abstract
A wound dressing, a method of manufacturing a wound dressing, and in particular to a material for use as and in a wound dressing. A wound dressing can comprise a material movable between an initial conformation and an expanded conformation resulting from applying an extensive force to the material, such that removal of the extensive force can cause a contraction of the material toward a center of a wound. In addition, the wound dressing can comprise a retaining mechanism removably coupled to the material and configured to retain the material in the expanded conformation.
