A wound exudate management system includes a pump for generating negative pressure, a dressing for covering and protecting a wound of a user, a tube including an interior lumen, the tube disposed between the pump and the dressing such that the pump and the dressing are in fluid communication via the interior lumen. The dressing includes an adhesive layer for adhering the dressing adjacent the wound, a wound contact layer, a pressure dispersion layer, a plurality of layers of absorbent material disposed between the wound contact layer and the pressure dispersion layer, a backing layer having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the backing layer being adjacent, and in contact with, the pressure dispersion layer and the adhesive layer, and a flexible connector disposed on the second surface of the backing layer.

Negative pressure wound dressing management system

A wound dressing including a layer in the form of a strip and including gel-forming fibers, the strip having longitudinal lines of stitches formed from a thread and transverse lines of stitches formed from a thread. In certain forms, the wound dressing includes at least one stitch free column.

Wound dressing

Connectors and devices for flexible negative pressure systems are described.

Flexible negative pressure system

A wound dressing including a nonwoven absorbent layer including a layer of fabric comprising gel-forming fibers. The absorbent layer is gathered in a longitudinal direction by stitching through the layer of fabric using one or more resilient threads or yarns and an inelastic thread or yarn. The resilient and inelastic threads or yarns gather the layer of fabric so that the layer of fabric in use is configured to maintain close conformability with a wound during movement, and to elongate by 35% to 85% and then recover.

A wound dressing is in the form of a strip or a ribbon. The strip or ribbon is made of gel-forming fibers and has longitudinal lines of stitches formed from a thread and transverse lines of stitches formed from a thread.

An absorbent component for a wound dressing, the component comprising a wound contacting layer comprising gel forming fibres bound to a foam layer.

Component for a wound dressing

A wound dressing comprising an absorbent layer, the absorbent layer being gathered in a longitudinal direction by one or more resilient yarns.

The present invention relates to a wound dressing and in particular a wound dressing for application to the sacrum of a patient. The wound dressing is an absorbent pad having one or more lines about which the dressing can fold.
