McKesson Wound Contact Layer Dressing Silicone 3 x 4", 10/BX

Wound Contact Layer Dressing Silicone 3 x 4", 10/BX

This wound contact layer dressing is a sterile silicone dressing sized 3 x 4 inch for use with an outer absorbent dressing. It works well for a variety of wounds, including superficial wounds and very fragile skin, when buyers want a gentle contact layer that helps protect the wound and surrounding skin. The open perforated structure helps move exudate vertically to a secondary dressing, and the silicone gel adhesive adheres to skin without sticking to moist wound beds.
