A compression sponge for wound care operable in the collection of liquid emanating from a wound site. The pad has at least one generally uniform bibulous layer operable as a wick to absorb, generally uniformly distribute there through, and retain liquid whereby such uniform liquid distribution throughout the entire layer provides uniform pressure distribution of any externally applied pressure on the pad. A liquid-permeable sheet such as a non-interacting, liquid-permeable paper product is disposed on the surface of the bibulous layer to interface with the wound site, while a liquid impermeable sheet with wrap-around edges prevents leakage of liquid from the pad.
