A method for manufacturing a hydrogel laminate of a wound dressing includes the steps of: providing a fabric layer forming a fluid-impermeable barrier layer on a lower surface of the fabric layer, the fluid-impermeable barrier layer having a water-repellant surface bonded to the lower surface of the fabric layer applying a hydrogel precursor onto an upper surface of the fabric layer so as to permit the hydrogel precursor to infiltrate into the fabric layer and curing the hydrogel precursor in the fabric layer to obtain a hydrogel laminate.
