The bandage (10) comprises a substrate (12) having a first side (21) and a second side (22) and a plurality of layers including a backing layer (18) which forms the first side (21) of the substrate (12), and an adhesive layer (20) which forms the second side (22) of the substrate (12). A hydrogel layer (14) is disposed over the second side (22) of the substrate (12) and is preferably made from a polyurethane hydrogel material especially suitable for absorbing bodily fluids, such as wound exudate. Additionally, a plurality of support layers (16,17) may be interposed between the substrate (12) and the hydrogel layer (14) to provide the bandage (10) with additional support. <IMAGE> |
