Method for producing a wound dressing, comprising the steps of i) providing a laminate suitable for medical purposes having a first outer face and a second outer face, wherein the laminate has at least one porous layer, which preferably comprises a textile, in particular a laid fiber scrim and/or a woven fiber fabric, and/or a polymer foam, and has a wound contact layer that is different from the porous layer, ii) placing the laminate onto a work surface, wherein the first outer face is in contact with the work surface in a planar manner after the placement, iii) applying a template having a contact face and an upper face, preferably wherein the template has at least one opening, wherein, during application, the contact face of the template is applied to the second outer face of the laminate, which faces away from the work surface, iv) pressing the template toward the work surface, wherein the laminate is held in its position on the work surface by the pressing of the template, and preferably is compressed in its extension from the first outer face to the second outer face, v) separating a part of the laminate that projects beyond the upper face of the template, preferably wherein the separation takes place in a separating plane which is parallel to the work surface and which is preferably spaced apart from the upper face of the template by at most 5 mm, in particular at most 3 mm, in particular at most 2 mm, preferably vi) cutting the edges of the laminate and/or dividing the laminate in order to obtain one or more wound dressings, wherein the cutting and/or division takes place in particular by means of a cut guided substantially vertically to the extension plane of the laminate, preferably vii) applying and/or impregnating the laminate or the wound dressing with a substance or composition which preferably promotes wound healing, preferably viii) applying further layers to the first and/or the second outer face of the laminate or the wound dressing, preferably ix) sterilizing the laminate or the wound dressing and preferably x) packaging the wound dressing or the wound dressings, preferably wherein steps i) to x), or a plurality of these steps, take place in the sequence just mentioned. i) providing a laminate suitable for medical purposes having a first outer face and a second outer face, wherein the laminate has at least one
