Abstract

A dressing includes a foam layer, a plurality of cores extending substantially through the foam layer, and a drape sealable over the foam layer and a wound bed. The drape is couplable to a pump operable to create a negative pressure in the substantially-airtight volume. Each core is substantially removable from the foam layer to reveal a channel through the foam layer. Each core is defined by perforations that facilitate separation of the core from the foam layer.
