Abstract
A novel two piece dressing having a baseplate and wound fluid absorbing material is provided according to the present invention. The baseplate is provided with slits or incisions for covering, examining and/or treating the wound without removing the baseplate. The dressing contains an absorbent material designed to remove excess exudate from the wound through an aperture in the baseplate. The incisions or slits may, in one embodiment, extend from the aperture and define one or more flaps for viewing and/or treating the wound.
