Abstract:
A wound dressing includes a superabsorbent pad, a drape layer, a humidity chamber, a wick, and a humidity colorimeter sensor. The superabsorbent pad is configured to absorb wound fluid and has a first side and a second, wound-facing side. The drape layer is coupled to the first side of the superabsorbent pad and has a first side and a second, wound-facing side. The drape layer is substantially impermeable to liquid and substantially permeable to vapor. The humidity chamber is coupled to the first side of the drape layer opposite the superabsorbent pad. The wick extends through the drape layer and is configured to wick moisture between the superabsorbent pad and the humidity chamber. The humidity colorimeter sensor is located within the humidity chamber and configured to change color responsive to a humidity level within the humidity chamber.
