A compression sponge for wound care operable in the collection of liquid emanating from a wound site. The pad has at least one generally uniform bibulous layer operable as a wick to absorb, generally uniformly distribute there through, and retain liquid whereby such uniform liquid distribution throughout the entire layer provides uniform pressure distribution of any externally applied pressure on the pad. A liquid-permeable sheet such as a non-interacting, liquid-permeable paper product is disposed on the surface of the bibulous layer to interface with the wound site, while a liquid impermeable sheet with wrap-around edges prevents leakage of liquid from the pad.

[ I claim:] [1.] A compression sponge for wound care, the sponge comprising:a) at least one generally uniform bibulous layer operable as a wick to absorb, generally uniformly distribute there through, and retain liquid whereby such uniform liquid distribution throughout the entire layer provides uniform pressure distribution of any externally applied pressure on the pad;b) a liquid permeable sheet disposed on a first surface of the bibulous layer; andc) a liquid impermeable sheet disposed on a second surface of the bibulous layer opposite the first surface, wherein the liquid impermeable sheet extends along and in vertical contact with all vertical edges of the bibulous layer and is folded over and attached along all perimeter borders of the liquid permeable sheet.
