Abstract

A dressing for treating a tissue site may include a base layer, a sealing member, a first and a second wicking layer, and an absorbent layer. The base layer may have a periphery surrounding a central portion and a plurality of apertures disposed through the periphery and the central portion. At least one of the apertures in the periphery may be positioned at an edge of the periphery, and may have an interior exposed at the edge. The sealing member and the base layer may define an enclosure. The first and the second wicking layer may each be disposed in the enclosure with the absorbent layer positioned between the first and the second wicking layer. Other dressings, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Claims (18)

1. A method for treating a tissue site, comprising:

positioning a gel layer proximate to the tissue site, the gel layer including a plurality of apertures disposed through a periphery of the gel layer, wherein at least one of the apertures has an interior exposed at an edge of the periphery; and

extending an adhesive through the plurality of apertures in the periphery of the gel layer to contact tissue surrounding the tissue site.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising disposing a sealing member proximate to the periphery of the gel layer, and applying a force to the sealing member to cause at least a portion of the adhesive to extend through the plurality of apertures.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising applying negative pressure to the tissue site, and drawing fluid from the tissue site into an enclosure defined between the sealing member and the gel layer.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising disposing at least one of a wicking layer or an absorbent layer in the enclosure.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising positioning a conduit interface proximate to the sealing member and in fluid communication between the enclosure and a negative pressure source configured to generate the negative pressure.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sealing member is configured to provide a sealed space between the sealing member and the tissue site.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the adhesive is disposed on a surface of the sealing member configured to face the gel layer.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the adhesive extends through the plurality of apertures at least to the edge of the periphery of the gel layer.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is configured to be in fluid communication with at least a portion of the tissue surrounding the tissue site through the apertures in the gel layer.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least three of the apertures in a corner of the periphery of the gel layer are positioned in a triangular configuration and are smaller than other apertures in the periphery of the gel layer.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least of portion of the plurality of the apertures in the periphery of the gel layer are positioned at the edge.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of the apertures positioned at the edge are spaced substantially equidistant around the periphery of the gel layer, and wherein the adhesive is in fluid communication with the edge.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the plurality of the apertures in the periphery of the gel layer are in fluid communication in a lateral direction with the edge.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the apertures in the periphery of the gel layer is positioned in a corner of the periphery and substantially precluded from fluid communication in a lateral direction exterior to the corner, and wherein the adhesive is substantially precluded from fluid communication exterior to the corner.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gel layer comprises silicone.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive comprises an acrylic adhesive.
