1. A dressing for treating a tissue site, comprising:
a fluid transport layer comprising a first side and a second side configured to be in fluid communication with the tissue site, the first side of the fluid transport layer adapted to be positioned facing the tissue site, the first side of the fluid transport layer is a hydrophilic side, the second side of the fluid transport layer is a hydrophobic side, the hydrophobic side adapted to wick a liquid along the fluid transport layer in a lateral direction normal to a thickness of the fluid transport layer;
an offloading layer in fluid communication with the fluid transport layer, the offloading layer comprising a force offloading region and a target region;
a liquid deflector positioned between the second side of the fluid transport layer and the offloading layer, the liquid deflector configured to deflect the liquid from the tissue site into contact with the target region of the offloading layer; and
a liquid permeable enclosing layer that is continuous such that it does not include an aperture separately disposed therethrough, wherein the offloading layer is positioned in fluid communication between the fluid transport layer and the enclosing layer, and wherein a periphery of the fluid transport layer is coupled to a periphery of the enclosing layer defining an offloading enclosure surrounding the offloading layer between the fluid transport layer and the enclosing layer.
