1. A device comprising:
a first conformable, conductive fabric comprising
a) fibers or foams coated with an anti-microbial metal, wherein the coated fibers or foams provide a surface resistance of about 10 ohms/cm2 to about 0.001 ohms/cm2 to the conductive fabric, wherein the fibers comprise multiple filaments; andb) a plurality of apertures effective to provide the device with a liquid wicking value in a range of about 5% to 95% to allow removal of fluid from the wound through the device, wherein the apertures are positioned to facilitate uniform application of the device to a wound when the device is under negative pressure. |
