Abstract
A pressure wound dressing has a flexible support layer, a pressure exerting support member attached to and extending from one side of the flexible support layer and, preferably, a layer of pliant absorbent material attached to the pressure exerting support member. The flexible support layer has an adhesive layer on the side from which the support member extends. Preferably, a removable liner is positioned on the adhesive layer opposite to the support layer. The pressure exerting support member preferably is formed from a sheet of material to provide two surfaces oriented at an angle with respect to each other.
