A cover layer for a vacuum wound therapy dressing includes a backing layer formed from a flexible polymeric membrane and an adhesive layer for affixing the backing layer over a wound bed to provide a substantially fluid-tight seal around a perimeter of the wound bed. The cover layer is reinforced with a reinforcement layer extending to a peripheral region of the backing layer to distribute forces associated with evacuating a reservoir, as defined by or within the cover, to stimulate healing of the wound bed.

1. A negative pressure wound therapy dressing comprising: a backing layer comprising a flexible polymeric membrane, the backing layer including a lower wound facing side, an upper side opposite the lower wound facing side, and an aperture extending through the backing layer;a porous layer disposed below the lower wound facing side of the backing layer;an absorbent filler, wherein the absorbent filler is configured to be in fluid communication with the porous layer and configured to collect exudate removed from a wound; anda vacuum port configured to be fluidically connected, via a tube, to a negative pressure source, wherein the vacuum port comprises: a flange having an underside and a top side, wherein the underside of the flange has an opening positioned over the aperture in the backing layer and the underside of the flange is positioned on the upper side of the backing layer; anda connector extending above the flange, the connector configured to be connected to the tube;a screen positioned across the opening on the underside of the flange configured to prevent migration of particles into the vacuum port, wherein the screen comprises openings having a size configured to prevent migration of particles into the vacuum port, the size of the openings being large enough for liquid wound exudate to pass through the screen. 2. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the porous layer is substantially liquid resistant. 3. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the porous layer comprises a reticulated material. 4. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the porous layer comprises a network of interlinked fibers that comprises a mesh formed from polyethylene terephthalate fibers (PET). 5. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the connector comprises a connector segment extending above the flange, wherein the connector segment extends radially outward parallel to a base of the flange and is configured to receive the tube. 6. The dressing according to claim 1, further comprising an adhesive disposed on the lower wound facing side of the backing layer, wherein the adhesive is affixed to a peripheral region of the backing layer and includes an opening such that the adhesive does not extend to a central region of the dressing. 7. The dressing according to claim 6, wherein the adhesive overlaps a portion of the porous layer such that the porous layer is affixed to the backing layer. 8. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the backing layer comprises a polyurethane film having a thickness from about 0.8 mils to about 1.0 mils. 9. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the backing layer comprises a moisture vapor permeable membrane. 10. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the absorbent filler comprises material configured to trap exudate. 11. The dressing according to claim 1, in combination with the negative pressure source configured to provide reduced pressure to the wound. 12. The dressing according to claim 1, further comprising a wound contact layer configured to be in direct contact with the wound, wherein the absorbent filler is configured to be positioned over the wound contact layer; wherein the wound contact layer is configured to promote a substantially unidirectional flow of fluid so as to prevent exudate removed from the wound from flowing back into the wound when vacuum is applied to the wound. 13. The dressing according to claim 12, wherein the backing layer, the porous layer and the wound contact layer have a square shape. 14. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the aperture in the backing layer is located in a central region of the backing layer. 15. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the porous layer comprises an aperture that extends through the porous layer to permit fluid communication between the wound and the negative pressure source. 16. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the vacuum port comprises a cavity on an underside of the vacuum port, wherein the screen is positioned within the cavity. 17. The dressing according to claim 16, wherein the screen is substantially flush with the underside of the flange. 18. The dressing according to claim 1, further comprising a one-way valve positioned between the vacuum port and the negative pressure source. 19. The dressing according to claim 18, wherein the one-way valve is positioned at an end of the tube located away from the backing layer and toward the negative pressure source. 20. The dressing according to claim 1, wherein the screen comprises a filter configured to minimize particles of predetermined dimension from passing through the screen.
