A system for the treatment of a wound site using negative pressure, the system comprising:
- a drainage layer comprising a hydrophilic foam and a film layer, the film layer comprising a lobe extending from an edge of the drainage layer toward a center of the drainage layer such that the hydrophilic foam beneath the lobe is covered by the film layer.
A method of treating a wound site using negative pressure, wherein the treatment comprises:
- placing a drainage layer onto the wound site, the drainage layer comprising a hydrophilic foam and a film layer, the film layer comprising a lobe extending from an edge of the drainage layer toward a center of the drainage layer such that the hydrophilic foam beneath the lobe is covered by the film layer;
- placing a porous pad over the hydrophilic drainage layer;
- and
- sealing the wound site with a flexible drape positioned over the wound and sealed to the skin surrounding the wound.
