Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing cause pain during removal?
Designed for atraumatic wound care, this dressing features a gentle silicone gel adhesive. Because it adheres to the surrounding skin without sticking to the moist wound bed itself, it minimizes trauma and disturbance to the healing tissue during removal.
Can I use this for different types of wounds?
Yes, this dressing is highly versatile and cut-to-fit. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including: <ul><li>Surgical incisions</li><li>Skin tears</li><li>Abrasions</li><li>Partial-thickness burns</li><li>Leg or foot ulcers</li></ul>
How does it handle wound drainage?
The dressing features an open, perforated structure that allows for effective vertical exudate transfer. Exudate passes through the layer into your secondary absorbent dressing, ensuring the wound bed stays in an optimal healing environment.
Is the material safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, this product is latex-free (not made with natural rubber latex), making it a suitable option for patients with sensitive skin or latex allergies.
How often does the dressing need changing?
The McKesson Wound Contact Layer Dressing has an extended wear time of up to 7 days, depending on the wound condition and as directed by your healthcare professional.
Can I check the wound without removing the dressing?
Yes, the dressing is made of a thin, translucent material, allowing clinicians and caregivers to monitor the progress of the wound without having to lift or remove the contact layer.
Does it stick to gloves or medical tools?
The dressing utilizes a one-sided adhesive application. This smart design ensures that the dressing stays in place on the skin while preventing it from sticking to your gloves or scissors during application.
Are there specific products to avoid using with this?
For safety and effectiveness, please do not use this dressing in conjunction with oxidizing solutions, such as hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite.
Is a secondary dressing required?
Yes, this is designed specifically as a primary wound contact layer. It must be used in combination with a secondary absorbent dressing, such as a foam pad or gauze, to capture the exudate transferred through the perforated layer.
Does the material conform to body contours?
The dressing is constructed from a flexible, waterproof polyurethane film, which allows it to conform comfortably to various body contours and shapes, providing a secure and protective interface.
