Wound Contact Layer Built for Protecting the wound bed under absorbent dressings
The wound contact layer is built for protecting the wound bed under absorbent dressings, and the design centers on the details that decide how the work feels at the bedside and in the treatment room. #2 Type 2 light support bandage – conformable and provides a smooth finish. #3 Light compression bandage – suitable for awkward contours. #4 Strong, durable bandage – durable, flexible and cohesive. The wound contact layer system has been shown to offer effective levels of compression for up to a week. That consistency is what wound care teams feel first: the wound contact layer sets up fast and works as expected.

Why Choose This Wound Contact Layer
Departments standardize on the PROFORE Wound Contact Layer because the full range sits under one item-number system with published specifications. That makes preference cards and par levels simple to maintain across the range. The result is fewer substitutions and a setup the team already knows when the case starts.
- Trained-In Behavior – Because the wound contact layer is consistent across size 5½" x 8", new staff learn one setup instead of several.
- Visible Stock Picture – A single listing shows the whole range at once, which makes gaps in the par cart easy to spot and fix.
- Manufacturer-Backed Design – The line is designed and specified by Smith & Nephew for protecting the wound bed under absorbent dressings, so buyers verify real specifications before the item reaches the shelf.
- No Substitute Risk – Ordering by the manufacturer item number removes the guesswork that leads to wrong-item substitutions.
