Description
MPM Medical DryVeil Silicone Wound Contact Layer sits between the wound bed and the absorbent dressing as a gentle silicone interface. The non-adherent layer lets the outer dressing change without disturbing new tissue underneath. Fragile wounds and skin tears benefit most from that separation.
- Silicone Interface – The contact layer rests gently on the wound bed, designed to protect fragile tissue.
- Change-Friendly – Outer dressings lift away while the contact layer can stay, less trauma at each change.
- 4 x 5 Inch Sheet – A versatile sheet size for common wound shapes, trimmable by the clinician as needed.
Silicone Contact Layers That Protect the Wound Bed
Every dressing change risks tearing the fragile tissue a wound has just built. A silicone wound contact layer breaks that cycle by staying on the wound while absorbent dressings above it are exchanged. This 4 x 5 inch sterile sheet forms that interface, letting exudate pass through to the secondary dressing while the wound bed stays undisturbed. Skin tears, grafts and fragile chronic wounds are the settings where contact layers earn their place. The format pairs with the absorbent lines stocked alongside it.
Features and Benefits
Wound Bed Protection
- Non-Adherent Contact – The silicone surface rests on the wound without bonding to new tissue.

Why Choose a Contact Layer
Protecting new tissue is as important as absorbing drainage. This layer separates those two jobs, so changes stop resetting the wound bed while the absorbent work happens above it.
- Gentler Changes – The wound bed stays covered and undisturbed through secondary dressing changes.
- Fragile Wound Fit – Skin tears and grafts are exactly the wounds contact layers were designed around.
- Pairs With Any Absorbent – The layer works under foam, super absorbent or gauze secondaries already in stock.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a wound contact layer do?
It forms a protective interface between the wound bed and the absorbent dressing. Drainage passes through it while the wound surface stays undisturbed.
What size is this layer?
The sheet measures 4 x 5 inches and is sterile. It is sold by the case as the packaging states.
Which wounds use contact layers?
Fragile wounds such as skin tears, graft sites and sensitive chronic wounds use them most. Clinicians choose them when dressing changes risk damaging new tissue.
Does it absorb drainage itself?
No. The layer is an interface, and absorption happens in the secondary dressing placed over it.
How is it packaged?
The file lists 10 per box and 5 boxes per case. The case is the sellable unit on this listing.
