What is a contact layer?
Contact layer dressings – or contact layers – are thin, non-adherent sheets made of woven or perforated material. You place contact layers directly on the open wound bed to protect the tissue from direct contact with the wound dressing.
What are the benefits of silicone contact layers?
Modern, silicone contact layers offer a two-fold benefit. They protect the wound from trauma during dressing changes, and they allow exudate to pass
How do I select the right contact layer?
Does the contact layer allow for exudate to pass from the wound to the secondary dressing? Depending on the wound’s exudate level, you want to choose a contact layer that is permeable, so exudate can be absorbed into the secondary dressing.
