A wound exudate management system includes a pump for generating negative pressure, a dressing for covering and protecting a wound of a user, a tube including an interior lumen, the tube disposed between the pump and the dressing such that the pump and the dressing are in fluid communication via the interior lumen. The dressing includes an adhesive layer for adhering the dressing adjacent the wound, a wound contact layer, a pressure dispersion layer, a plurality of layers of absorbent material disposed between the wound contact layer and the pressure dispersion layer, a backing layer having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the backing layer being adjacent, and in contact with, the pressure dispersion layer and the adhesive layer, and a flexible connector disposed on the second surface of the backing layer.本發明公開了一種傷口滲出物管理系統，所述傷口滲出物管理系統包括用於產生負壓的泵、用於覆蓋和保護使用者的傷口的敷料、包括內管腔的管，所述管子設置在泵和敷料之間，使得泵和敷料通過內管腔流體連通。敷料包括用於將敷料相鄰於傷口黏附的黏合劑層、傷口接觸層、壓力分散層、設置在傷口接觸層和壓力分散層之間的多層吸收材料、具有第一表面和第二表面的背襯層以及設置在背襯層的第二表面上的柔性連接器，其中背襯層的第一表面與壓力分散層和黏合劑層相鄰並接觸。
