Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed within herein relate to a wound dressing, suitable for use in negative pressure wound therapy, comprising a body of porous material, the body of porous material comprising a plurality of cuts which provide regions of flexibility within the body. Further embodiments relate to methods of manufacturing and method of use of such wound dressings. In addition, the wound dressing can comprise a retaining mechanism removably coupled to the material and configured to retain the material in the expanded conformation.

Claim (Index 53):
A wound dressing apparatus, comprising:\n an absorbent layer having a first dimension and a second dimension, the second dimension perpendicular to the first dimension, the absorbent layer comprising a plurality of slits arranged in a pattern of parallel rows, wherein the plurality of slits comprise first slits extending parallel to the first dimension and second slits extending parallel to the second dimension, wherein the parallel rows comprise a first row extending along the second dimension across the absorbent layer and a second row adjacent to the first row extending along the second dimension, the first row comprising alternating first slits and second slits and the second row comprising at least second slits, wherein the second slits of the second row are staggered with respect to the second slits of the first row such that every first slit of the first row is directly adjacent to a second slit in both a first direction parallel to the first dimension and a second direction parallel to the second dimension; and a backing layer configured to be positioned over the absorbent layer.
