Abstract
Dressings, systems, and methods for treating a tissue site on a patient involve allowing liquids from the tissue site or a priming fluid to evaporate and exit the dressing through a liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable membrane. The dressing is able to process more liquids than would otherwise be possible without evaporation and potentially to create reduced pressure. Other dressings, systems, and methods are disclosed.
Claims4

- a covering disposed over the container and configured to form a sealed space over the tissue site;
- an evaporative window disposed over the container;
- and
- a liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable membrane covering the evaporative window.
