McKesson Wound Contact Layer Dressing Silicone 3 X 4 Inch

Wound Contact Layer Dressing Silicone 3 X 4 Inch

This wound contact layer dressing is a sterile silicone dressing sized 3 x 4 inch. It works well for a variety of wounds when paired with an outer absorbent dressing, and it can also serve as a protective layer on superficial wounds or very fragile skin. The open perforated structure helps move exudate vertically into the secondary dressing, while the gentle silicone gel adhesive helps the dressing stay on skin without sticking to moist wound beds.
