Smith & Nephew Conformant 2 Wound Veil Sheet, 4" x 12", Sterile Polyethylene Contact Layer

4" x 12" Non-Adherent Wound Contact Layer for Gentle Dressing Changes

Product Description

Managing wounds with fragile surrounding skin or delicate granulation tissue requires a dressing that protects the wound bed without adhering to it. When secondary dressings stick to the wound, removal can cause pain, bleeding, and disruption of new tissue growth. Patients and caregivers need a reliable interface layer that stays in place, allows exudate to pass through, and can be removed without disturbing the healing process

Why Choose Smith & Nephew

1. Better than basic alternatives:
   Unlike standard gauze that can adhere to the wound bed and cause trauma on removal, the Conformant 2 Wound Veil provides a dedicated non-adherent interface. This allows secondary dressings to be changed while the contact layer remains in place, protecting delicate granulation tissue and supporting a less disruptive healing process .
2. Safer than chemical/medicated options:
   This wound veil provides a physical, mechanical barrier without the use of topical antimicrobial agents or adhesives on the wound contact surface. The polyethylene material is inert and gentle, making it suitable for sensitive or fragile skin where traditional adhesive dressings may cause irritation .
3. Better long-term value:
   The contact layer can often be left in place across multiple secondary dressing changes, reducing the frequency of wound disturbance and the amount of dressing material used per change . The ability to tear the sheet to size also minimizes waste, allowing clinicians to customize the dressing to the wound rather than opening multiple pre-sized products
