The present invention relates to a wound dressing comprising an absorbent core with a top surface and a bottom surface containing a superabsorbent substance, a facing layer, and a backing layer, wherein the facing layer and the backing layer are joined together by a seam forming a pouch, wherein the absorbent core is located in the pouch, wherein the facing layer is folded to cover the entire bottom surface of the absorbent core and comprising two folded sections folded towards the top surface of the absorbent core, wherein the folded sections of the facing layer and the backing layer are joined together. When compared to theses dressings it is an object of the present invention to provide a wound dressing reliably avoiding leakage of SAP or any other substance being foreign to the body from the pouch, while simultaneously allowing to design the layer to be brought into contact with the wound matching other requirements. In order to solve this object the present applications suggests to further develop the above design such that the wound dressing further comprises a contact layer to be brought into contact with a wound, wherein the contact layer is folded to cover an entire area of the facing layer covering the bottom surface of the absorbent core and comprising two folded sections covering parts of the folded sections of the facing layer, and wherein the two folded sections of the contact layer and the facing layer or the backing layer are joined together by a seam. |
