An improved load relieving dressing for transferring pressure away from a wound on a foot of a patient. The dressing having a wound opening (12) formed through the dressing for surrounding a wound site. The dressing having an external shape which substantially conforms to the shape of the pressure distribution on the foot during load bearing. A first layer (14) of the dressing interfacing with and cushioning a foot during load bearing. The first layer is of a material sufficient to limit pressure increases at the wound opening and within said dressing adjacent the wound opening. An off-loading layer (16) is engaged with said first layer, and is of a material sufficiently thick and firm to reduce pressure at the wound site.

L'invention concerne un pansement limiteur de charge amélioré qui permet d'enlever la pression d'une plaie du pied d'un patient en la transférant ailleurs. Le pansement comporte une ouverture destinée à entourer le site de la plaie. Le pansement présente une forme extérieure qui épouse sensiblement la forme de la répartition de la pression sur le pied pendant le port de la charge. Une première couche du pansement s'interface avec le pied et forme un rembourrage sur ce dernier pendant le port de la charge. La première couche est constituée d'un matériau qui suffit à limiter les augmentation de pression sur l'ouverture de la plaie et dans le pansement adjacent à l'ouverture de la blessure. Une couche de déchargement, mise en contact avec la première couche, est constituée d'un matériau suffisamment épais et ferme pour réduire la pression sur le site de la plaie.
