A core (1), in the form of a cylindrical pack, of a dressing is surrounded by a sleeve (2, 3) for holding the mechanical structure of the core. The sleeve (2), which may be comprised of threads (2, 3), is permeable to biological fluid of wounds and is biologically compatible with wounds. The dressing is very suitable for deep wounds, from which it can easily be removed.
