Versatel Contact Layer Dressings, 1 Each

Versatel contact layer dressings are non-adherent silicone contact dressings used as a primary dressing for wounds with shallow or deep presentation and no heavy drainage. They are a practical choice for clinicians and care settings that want a dressing change interval of up to 7 days while helping reduce trauma from secondary dressing adherence. The silicone-based atraumatic adhesive and fluid transfer channels support use with an absorbent secondary dressing.
