Dressing and method for applying reduced pressure to and collecting and storing fluid from a tissue site

摘要

Abstract A reduced pressure treatment system includes a reduced pressure source (110) and a reduced pressure dressing (104). The dressing includes an interface layer (220) adapted to be positioned at a tissue site and an absorbent layer (228) in fluid communication with the interface layer to absorb liquid from at least one of the interface layer and the tissue site (108). A diverter layer (232) is positioned adjacent the absorbent layer, and the diverter layer v includes a plurality of apertures (24 7) in fluid com-munication with the absorbent layer to distribute a reduced pressure to the absorbent layer. A cover (244) is positioned over the diverter layer to maintain the reduced pressure at the tissue site. 6C> Ce) x0x x x4 x x ICTx xo C -C CD xx - m x x x > c0 xx Xo X. 04 x x x Xx V x0 x x X, i- CF:
