Wound Contact Layer Dressing Silicone 4 x 7.2", 10/BX, 7BX/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 allowing exudate to transfer into a secondary dressing. The 4 x 7.2 inch rectangular format uses a one-sided contact layer and a gentle silicone gel adhesive that adheres to skin without sticking to moist wound beds.
