McKesson Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 4 x 7-2/5 Inch

McKesson Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing, 4 x 7-2/5 Inch

The McKesson Silicone Wound Contact Layer Dressing is a gentle, non-adherent primary dressing designed to protect the wound bed while promoting a comfortable healing environment. It is ideal for anyone caring for delicate or hard-to-manage wounds at home or in a clinical setting, thanks to its soft silicone contact layer that adheres to intact skin without sticking to the wound itself. This makes dressing changes far less painful and helps preserve fragile tissue.

This dressing works as a primary layer placed directly over the wound and is used in conjunction with an outer absorbent dressing to manage drainage. The silicone layer allows exudate to pass through to the secondary dressing while shielding the wound from friction and trauma. It can also serve as a protective layer on superficial, non-discharging wounds and on areas of very fragile skin. Because it minimizes adherence, you can lift and reposition the dressing as needed without disturbing new tissue growth.

It is suitable for use on skin tears, abrasions, blistering, lacerations, surgical wounds, partial-thickness burns (excluding third degree), and leg and foot ulcers. This product is available in multiple purchasing options—choose a single dressing, a box of 10, or a case of 70 to match your needs and budget. Many wound care supplies like this may be FSA/HSA eligible; check with your plan administrator. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
