Abstract
A therapeutic dressing has a permeable bottom layer, a non-permeable upper layer sealed about the periphery to the permeable layer to form at least one reservoir, an absorbent patch integrated with the permeable layer, a hermetic seal attached to the underside of the permeable layer and a filling interface in communication with the reservoir. The dressing is filled with a therapeutic agent and wherein such agent is subsequently diffused through the permeable layer onto the skin of a patient.
