DRESSING AND METHOD FOR APPLYING REDUCED PRESSURE TO AND COLLECTING AND STORING FLUID FROM A TISSUE SITE

摘要

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 (247) in fluid communication 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.
