<p>The present invention relates to a wound dressing (1) comprising a backing layer (3), a facing layer (2) which is permeable for wound exudate and blood and which when in use is in contact with the wound, and an absorbent core (4), wherein the backing layer (3) and the facing layer (2) are joint together in order to form a pouch, and wherein the absorbent core (4) is located within the pouch. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wound dressing of this kind which avoids maceration in the wound and achieves a balanced moisture in the wound bed. Therefore a wound dressing of the aforementioned type is provided, wherein the absorbent core (4) comprises at least a first and a second layer (6), wherein the first layer (5) is located closer to the facing layer (2) than the second layer (6), wherein the first layer (5) is arranged such that when in use it provides a flow of liquid predominantly in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the facing layer (2), and wherein the second layer (6) is arranged such that when in use it provides a flow of liquid predominantly in a direction parallel to the extension of the facing layer (2).</p> |
