Absorbent dressing with hybrid drape

A dressing for treating a tissue site, comprising:

• a base layer having a periphery surrounding a central portion and a plurality of apertures disposed through the periphery and the central portion, wherein the base layer is adapted to cover the tissue site and tissue surrounding the tissue site;
• an adhesive in fluid communication with the apertures in the base layer;
• a sealing member having a periphery and a central portion, the periphery of the sealing member positioned proximate the periphery of the base layer, wherein the central portion of the sealing member and the central portion of the base layer define an enclosure;
• a first wicking layer disposed in the enclosure;
• a second wicking layer disposed in the enclosure;
• an absorbent layer positioned in fluid communication between the first wicking layer and the second wicking layer, wherein a peripheral portion of the first wicking layer is coupled to a peripheral portion of the second wicking layer providing a wicking layer enclosure surrounding the absorbent layer between the first and the second wicking layer;
• and
• a conduit interface positioned proximate to the sealing member and in fluid communication with the enclosure.

A system for treating a tissue site, comprising:

• an interface manifold adapted to be positioned proximate the tissue site and to distribute reduced pressure to the tissue site;
• a dressing adapted to provide reduced pressure to the interface manifold and to store fluid extracted from the tissue site through the interface manifold, comprising:
• a base layer having a periphery surrounding a central portion and a plurality of apertures disposed through the periphery and the central portion, wherein the central portion of the base layer is adapted to be positioned proximate the interface manifold and the periphery of the base layer is adapted to be positioned proximate tissue surrounding the tissue site, wherein the periphery of the base layer is adapted to surround the interface manifold, and wherein the apertures in the base layer are adapted to be in fluid communication with the interface manifold and the tissue surrounding the tissue site,
• an adhesive in fluid communication with the apertures in the base layer, wherein the adhesive is adapted to be in fluid communication with the tissue surrounding the tissue site through the apertures in the base layer,
• a sealing member having a periphery and a central portion, the periphery of the sealing member positioned proximate the periphery of the base layer, wherein the central portion of the sealing member and the central portion of the base layer define an enclosure,
• a first wicking layer disposed in the enclosure,
• a second wicking layer disposed in the enclosure,
• an absorbent layer positioned in fluid communication between the first wicking layer and the second wicking layer, and
• a conduit interface positioned proximate to the sealing member and in fluid communication with the enclosure;
• and
• a reduced-pressure source adapted to be coupled in fluid communication with the conduit interface to provide reduced pressure to the dressing.
