1. An apparatus for the treatment of a wound by applying negative pressure to the wound, the apparatus comprising:
a first porous layer for disposing on the wound, wherein the first porous layer comprises a first side and a second, patient-facing side;
a sealing layer disposed over the first side of the porous layer to form a sealed space over the wound containing the first porous layer, wherein the sealing layer comprises a high-moisture vapor permeable material;
a second porous layer having a first side and a second, patient-facing side;
a cover layer disposed over the first side of the second porous layer forming an enclosure;
at least one port formed on the cover layer; and
a negative pressure source configured to be fluidly coupled to the sealed space and to the enclosure.
