Irrigation dressing
First Claim
1. An irrigation dressing for deep wounds comprising a substantially air- and water-impermeable, substantially flat and flexible plate (1) comprising an outer layer (2), an inner adhesive layer (3) and, optionally, a release layer (5) applied to the adhesive layer, said plate being formed with at least one perforation (6) to which one end of a conduit (10) is connected for supplying and removing liquid, and which is also used for pressure equalization, an opposite end of the conduit (10), which is to be placed in the wound, being provided with a pad (11) of capillary-active material such that said pad (11) is provided at a distance from the plate (1);
- andthe pad (11) being provided with ducts (22) and outlet tubes communicating therewith.

Abstract
An irrigation dressing for deep wounds comprises an adhesive, substantially liquid- and air-impermeable plate (1) having at least one perforation (6, 7) for supplying and sucking off liquid, and for pressure equalization. The perforation is provided with a conduit (10) for supplying and sucking off liquid. The conduit is introduced into the wound cavity, and irrigation liquid is supplied and sucked off through it. After completed irrigation, the perforation/perforations in the plate is/are closed in order to seal the dressing.
A bag (18) can be connected to the dressing for filling up and actively affecting the wound cavity.
