The invention relates to a multi-layer wound dressing for applying negative pressure to a wound. The dressing comprises a bioresorbable layer, for placement in contact with the wound; a fluid impermeable occlusive outer layer; a fluid porous porting layer positioned between the outer layer and the bioresorbable layer; and a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the porting layer, for coupling to a source of negative pressure. The porting layer comprises a multiplicity of fluid pathways between the conduit and the bioresorbable layer to allow for fluid transfer through the layers of the dressing to and from the bioresorbable. The bioresorbable layer comprises a plurality of apertures to enable exudate to flow from the wound to the porting layer.
