Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein is a hydrogel wound dressing having a wound-contact side and a non-wound-contact side wherein the rate of moisture evaporation from said non-wound contact side is faster than the rate of moisture evaporation from said wound contact side, thereby causing said dressing to curl toward said non-wound contact side upon drying. Optionally, the hydrogel wound dressing can be comprised of two materials having different rates of moisture evaporation bonded together to form a bilayer structure.
