A multi layered wound dressing which comprises an adhesive layer, an absorbent layer overlying said adhesive layer on the surface furthest from the wound, and a moisture transmitting cover layer overlying the absorbent layer, the dressing having a total thickness of less than 1.5 mm.

Multi-layered 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 multi layered wound dressing comprising: (a) an adsorbent layer having high absorbency but low lateral wicking rate, and (b) a transmission layer having a high moisture vapor transmission rate overlying the side of said absorbent layer furthest from the wound.

The invention provides a wound dressing comprising in sheet form a mixture of textile fibers and gel forming fibers. The wound dressing according to the invention may have the advantages that it is non-adherent to wound tissue while being absorbent and relatively inexpensive.

Wound dressing
