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

This wound contact layer dressing is a sterile silicone dressing for use with an outer absorbent dressing. It fits wound care settings that need a gentle contact layer to help protect the wound and surrounding skin while reducing sticking from a secondary dressing. The 3 x 4 inch rectangular format uses an open perforated structure that lets exudate move vertically and supports topical treatment delivery.
