A ribbon wound dressing for packing a wound, the ribbon wound dressing being substantially planar and having:
- a first longitudinal edge comprising at least one curved edge portion that is curved in the plane of the ribbon wound dressing, wherein:
- the at least one curved edge portion comprises a plurality of co-planar curved protrusions projecting outwardly relative to a central longitudinal axis of the ribbon wound dressing and in the plane of the ribbon wound dressing,
- the at least one curved edge portion comprises a plurality of co-planar curved recesses,
- each of the plurality of co-planar curved protrusions are concave in a first direction,
- each of the plurality of co-planar curved recesses are concave in a second direction,
- the first direction is opposite to the second direction, and
- the plurality of co-planar curved protrusions and the plurality of co-planar curved recesses form a continuous undulating profile devoid of any sharp corners along the at least one curved edge portion;
- and
- portions located between adjacent protrusions having a width that corresponds to the width of a central portion of the ribbon wound dressing and each of the portions being suitable as a single folding juncture between adjacent protrusions, wherein in use, the ribbon wound dressing is folded along said portions in an alternating fashion to provide a packed folded structure,
- wherein the ribbon wound dressing is non-adherent.
