Abstract
A method for making a wound dressing having an absorbent core includes the steps of inserting a plurality of projection elements into a distal surface of the absorbent core such that the projection elements extend into a thickness of the absorbent core and are suitably heated to impart their shape in the absorbent core. The projection elements are removed from the absorbent core to form receptacles therein. A discrete portion of at least one absorbent material is inserted in each of the receptacles.

A method for making a wound dressing having an absorbent core, the method comprising the steps of:
- inserting a plurality of projection elements into a distal surface of the absorbent core, said projection elements extending into the absorbent core a distance into a thickness thereof and being suitably heated to impart their shape in the absorbent core;
- removing said projection elements from said absorbent core to form receptacles therein;
- and
- inserting a discrete portion of at least one absorbent material into each of said receptacles.
A method for forming a plurality of receptacles in an absorbent core of a wound dressing, the method comprising the steps of:
- inserting a plurality of projection elements into a distal surface of the absorbent core, said projection elements extending into a thickness of the absorbent core;
- removing said projection elements from said absorbent core to form receptacles therein;
- inserting a plurality of discrete portions of at least one absorbent material into each of said receptacles.
A method for forming a plurality of receptacles in an absorbent core of a wound dressing, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing a plurality of projection elements transversely along a distal surface of the absorbent core, said projection elements extending into a distance short of an entire thickness of the absorbent core and being suitably heated to impart their shape in the absorbent core;
- removing said projection elements from said absorbent core to form a plurality of transverse channels defining receptacles disposed along the distal surface of the absorbent core;
- inserting a plurality of discrete portions of at least one absorbent material into each of said receptacles.
