The second layer is attached to the non wound facing surface of the first layer at spaced apart intervals thereby to form a plurality of discrete cellular voids between said first and second layers. The first layer has apertures therein to allow passage of liquids therethrough into the cellular voids and total area of the dressing defined by the cellular voids is from 20% to 80% of the total operable area of the dressing. |
