Profore Wound Contact Layer (WCL) is a Low Adherent Wound Contact Dressing

Profore WCL dressings are constructed from knitted viscose rayon and are designed to act as an interface between ulcerating or granulating wounds and conventional absorptive dressings. The open knitted construction allows exudate to pass freely from the wound site. Disruption of the wound and its healing tissue is avoided by leaving Profore WCL in place while the absorbent pads are changed as required. Being non-medicated, Profore WCL dressings are unlikely to elicit any tissue reaction so are ideal for use on their own but can be used in conjunction with a medicament of choice. Profore WCL dressings can be removed from the wound at any stage by gently stretching diagonal corners and lifting upwards from the edges.

Presentation:
Each dressing is individually wrapped and sterile.

Features:
• Low-adherent interface
• Open knitted construction
• Can be left in place during absorbent pad change

Benefits:
Conformable. The dressing will conform to all wound sites ensuring patient comfort.

Easy to use:
Supplied sterile in a peel-apart pouch, good aseptic technique is made easy.

Low-adherent:
The dressing’s knitted construction reduces the contact area of the dressing with the wound, and this together with the smooth texture of the rayon strands minimises adherence of the healing tissue to the dressing.

Indications:
Profore WCL dressings are ideally suited as wound contact layers for venous ulcers of the leg. They are also useful as a primary contact layer in other chronic and/or granulating skin wounds.
