McKesson Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 3 x 4 Inch

McKesson Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 3 x 4 Inch

The McKesson Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing is a gentle, non-adherent primary dressing designed to protect the wound bed while allowing exudate to pass through to an outer absorbent dressing. Measuring 3 x 4 inches, it's ideal for caregivers, clinicians, and individuals managing fragile skin and a wide range of wounds who want secure coverage without painful dressing changes.

Thanks to its soft silicone contact layer, this dressing adheres gently to intact skin around the wound but not to the moist wound bed itself. That means it stays in place during wear yet lifts away cleanly, minimizing trauma and discomfort at each change. Used together with an outer absorbent dressing, it helps maintain an optimal healing environment while reducing the risk of disrupting new tissue.

This dressing is suitable for skin tears, abrasions, blistering, lacerations, surgical wounds, partial-thickness burns (excluding third degree), and leg and foot ulcers. It can also serve as a protective layer on superficial, non-discharging wounds and on very fragile skin. It's available in multiple purchase options\u2014Single, Box of 10, and Case of 40\u2014so you can stock the quantity that fits your needs. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible.
