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

Provided, in one embodiment, is a vacuum wound dressing for covering a wound bed comprising: a wound contact layer comprising a fibrous blend or fibrous material that forms a cohesive gel when wetted by wound exudate; a source of vacuum situated to be separated from the wound bed by the wound contact layer; and a vacuum sealing layer covering the wound contact layer and adapted to retain relative vacuum in the wound contact layer, wherein (i) the dressing is essentially missing a non-gelling, foam layer in which the source of vacuum is situated or (ii) the vacuum sealing layer comprises as an outer layer a foam layer.

Vacuum wound dressing

A multi layered wound dressing for use on wounds producing high levels of exudate, the dressing comprising a transmission layer having a high MVTR; an absorbent core capable of absorbing and retaining exudates; and a wound contacting layer which transmits exudate to the absorbent core, the absorbent core and wound contacting layer limiting the lateral spread of exudate in the dressing to the region of the wound.

Multi layered wound dressing

A wound dressing for post-operative sites comprising:

Wound dressing

A wound dressing for post-operative sites requiring drainage includes a thin film or film/foam laminate layer with an adhesive applied to one surface thereof and an absorbent layer positioned on the adhesive surface.
