Abstract
A wound dressing comprising at least one ply of an aerated latex microsized hydroentangled fabric, having an adhesive disposed on at least one surface of the fabric, and a nonwoven fibrous pad material centrally mounted thereon. The present invention has sufficient hydrophobicity in the fabric to be a barrier to liquid borne bacteria while preserving comfort, air permeability, and flexibility therein. In addition to the above properties, the dressing is sterilizable, and will keep the skin beneath the dressing dry.
