DRESSING FOR USE IN THE NEGATIVE PRESSURE THERAPY OF WOUNDS, NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY KIT, AND NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY SYSTEM

Abstract

The invention relates to a dressing (16) for use in the negative pressure therapy of wounds, having: a wound contact layer (28); an air-impermeable top layer (34), wherein a receiving space (36) is formed between the top layer and the wound contact layer, wherein the wound contact layer is designed such that it is liquid-permeable and draws wound exudate from the wound into the receiving space, and wherein a connection opening (26) is formed in the top layer; and at least one distribution layer (50) arranged in the receiving space, wherein the distribution layer extends in two surface directions (X, Y) and is designed to distribute wound exudate in the surface directions. According to the invention, the distribution layer is formed by a flat material web portion (52), a first side (56) of the flat material web portion is designed as a structure defined by elevations (60) that are formed integrally with a plane (54) of the flat material web portion, a terminal through-opening (64) is formed in at least some of the elevations, and a cohesive intermediate space (66) is formed between the elevations.
