The invention relates to a wound dressing (2) for treating wounds in a moist or wet environment, comprising a fibrous nonwoven fabric-based suction/rinsing body (4) in which super-absorbent material is distributed, wherein the suction/rinsing body (4) is supplied by the manufacturer with a saline aqueous solution, in particular a Ringer's solution, preferably to the point of saturation, and further comprising a covering (6) forming the outer visible sides of the wound dressing, wherein an evaporation-inhibiting film layer can be provided on the side of the suction/rinsing body (4) which faces away from the wound. The wound dressing is improved in that the aqueous solution comprises an antimicrobially acting substance that is cationic at pH values of 4-7.5 of a typical moist or wet wound environment. Said substance is attracted by negative groups of the anionic super-absorbent material and thereby acts antimicrobially inside the suction/rinsing body (4). The covering (6) comprises an atraumatically acting coating (16) having a degree of coverage of no more than 70%, said coating being applied in some regions and in a structured manner to the outside on the side facing the wound.
