Wound dressing, manufacture and use
First Claim
1. A wound dressing which consists essentially of a low adherency wound facing layer, an absorbent layer and an outer layer, wherein said low adherency wound facing layer has a wound contacting, first adhesive coating over its wound facing surface, said low adherency wound facing layer comprises a conformable apertured film, a conformable net of elastomer or an adhesive layer pattern spread in a conformable net-like configuration, the absorbent layer comprises a conformable hydrophilic foam and the outer layer is a continuous or discontinuous moisture vapour transmitting conformable backing layer which has a layer of a second adhesive on one surface thereof, at least one of said backing layer and said second adhesive layer being continuous to provide a barrier to bacteria and to liquid water.
