         7 . A wound cleansing assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the threads ( 3 ) or the carrier layer ( 2 ), or the entire wound cleansing cloth ( 1 ), comprise at least 90% by weight or entirely a single synthetic material. 
     
     
         8 . A wound cleansing assembly  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the threads ( 3 ) or the carrier layer ( 2 ) is coated with a coating material. 
     
     
         9 . A wound cleansing assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier layer ( 2 ) is a stitch fabric and the threads ( 3 ) projecting from the carrier layer ( 2 ) are integrated in the carrier layer ( 2 ) by weaving or knitting. 
     
     
         10 . A wound cleansing assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the carrier layer ( 2 ) at a side facing away from the projecting threads ( 3 ) is coated with a reinforcement layer ( 6 ) connecting stitches of the carrier layer ( 2 ). 
     
     
         11 . A wound cleansing assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein at least some of the threads ( 3 ) projecting from the carrier layer ( 2 ) or at least some of the threads ( 3 ) forming the carrier layer ( 2 ) are silver threads, copper threads or synthetic fibers containing a silver coating or a copper coating or being made therefrom. 
     
     
         12 . A wound cleansing assembly according  claim 1 , wherein nanoparticles are arranged on synthetic fibers of at least one of the carrier layer ( 2 ) or the threads ( 3 ) projecting from the carrier layer ( 2 ). 
     
     
         13 . A wound cleansing assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one reinforcement layer ( 6 ) is arranged in or at the carrier layer ( 2 ) at the side of the carrier layer ( 2 ) facing away from the projecting threads ( 3 ). 
     
     
         14 . A wound cleansing cloth according to  claim 1 , wherein synthetic fibers of at least one of the carrier layer ( 2 ) or the synthetic fibers of the threads ( 3 ) projecting from the carrier layer ( 2 ) are shrunk via heat treatment. 
     
     
         15 . A wound cleansing assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the wound cleansing cloth ( 1 ) is arranged on a stiff carrier body ( 18 ). 
     
     
         16 .- 18 . (canceled) 
     
     
         19 . An assembly characterized in comprising at least one wound cleansing assembly according to  claim 1  and one air-tightly sealed packaging ( 7 ) with the at least one wound cleansing cloth ( 1 ) being packaged in a sterile fashion in said packaging ( 7 ). 
     
     
         20 . A method for the production of a wound cleansing assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein two carrier layers ( 2 ) are produced together in the form of stitched fabric in a first processing step, with in said first processing step an intermediate layer ( 8 ) being embodied between the two carrier layers ( 2 ) comprising threads ( 3 ) extending between the two carrier layers ( 2 ) and incorporated in the two carrier layers ( 2 ), and in a second processing step the threads ( 3 ) being severed.
