Description

PROFORE◊ WCL (Wound Contact Layer) is a 14cm x 20cm (5 1/2" x 8") dressing made of knitted viscose rayon.

Features & Benefits

Non-adherent

Non-adhesive

Highly porous

Highly conformable

Cost-effective

Non-adherent
PROFORE◊ WCL has an open knit construction, which allows exudate to pass freely, while helping to limit the adherence of the dressing to the wound.

Non-adhesive
PROFORE◊ WCL is non-adhesive and therefore recommended for wounds surrounded by sensitive skin, such as venous leg ulcers.

Highly Porous
PROFORE◊ WCL is highly porous. This helps to prevent maceration of the peri-wound by preventing exudate pooling

Highly Conformable
The knitted construction of PROFORE◊ WCL makes the dressing highly conformable, providing comfort for the patient while helping to maintain a moist environment at the wound site.

Indications

PROFORE◊ WCL is indicated to act as a non-adherent interface between the granulating wound surface and conventional absorbent dressings. It can also be used in conjunction with PROFORE◊, PROFORE◊ LF and PROFORE◊ Lite, the Multi-layer Compression Bandage Systems.

PROFORE◊ WCL provides physical separation between the wound and external environments to assist in preventing bacterial contamination of the wound.

PROFORE◊ WCL aids in the creation and maintenance of a moist wound environment. Moist wound environments have been established as optimal environments for the management of the wound.

Precautions

If reddening or sensitization occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
