Abstract:
Devices and methods for encapsulating a portion of a wound dressing with biocompatible coating are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes coating a first side of a flexible wound contact layer of the wound dressing with a hydrophobic coating. The first side of the wound contact layer can support a plurality of electronic components. The method can further include coating a second side of the wound contact layer opposite the first side with the hydrophobic coating. The wound contact layer can be formed at least partially from hydrophilic material.
