A wound dressing is provided. The dressing includes a moisture-transmissible backing layer having a first major surface, a second major surface, a backing layer perimeter, and a first opening; an absorbent adhesive gel adhered to the second major surface of the backing layer, the absorbent adhesive gel comprising an adhesive gel perimeter; and a porous layer having a first side, a second side, and a porous layer perimeter. The second major surface has a first adhesive disposed thereon. The first side of the porous layer is adhered to the absorbent adhesive gel. The porous layer is configured to facilitate passage of fluid to the first opening. One-hundred percent of the adhesive gel perimeter is overlapped by the backing layer. At least 50% of the porous layer perimeter is overlapped by the absorbent adhesive gel.
