Wound dressing with fluid management

A wound therapy system, comprising:

• a pump;
• a tube fluidly communicable with the pump;
• and
• a dressing coupleable to the tube, the dressing comprising:
• an evaporative film layer comprising a wound-facing side and a non-wound facing side, the evaporative film layer configured to transfer moisture vapor;
• a carrier film layer coupled to the non-wound-facing side of the evaporative film layer and comprising a plurality of holes extending through the carrier film layer;
• a superabsorbent layer directly abutting the wound-facing side of the evaporative film layer without an adhesive between the superabsorbent layer and the evaporative film layer;
• a wicking layer coupled in direct fluid communication to the superabsorbent layer, the superabsorbent layer positioned between the wicking layer and the evaporative film layer;
• an opening disposed through the evaporative film layer and configured to provide fluid communication therethrough, wherein the opening is defined by a removed portion of a substrate material of the evaporative film layer;
• wherein:
• the wicking layer is configured to wick fluid from a wound;
• the superabsorbent layer is configured to absorb the fluid from the wicking layer;
• the evaporative film layer and the carrier film layer allow evaporation of the fluid from the superabsorbent layer through the plurality of holes, the carrier film layer providing structural support to the evaporative film layer;
• the tube is fluidly communicable with the wicking layer and the pump is configured to draw a negative pressure at the wicking layer via the tube.
