Wound care management involves dressings, equipment, and other aids, such as bandages, gels, and ostomy drainage bags, designed to prevent and treat wounds, as well as to promote or accelerate wound healing. Wound Contact Layers (WCLs) are a type of non-adherent dressings used to protect wounds with fragile tissue and periwound skin.

In 2023, GlobalData’s Market Model methodology determined that the leading player in the wound contact layers market in the UK was Molnlycke Health Care followed by Smith & Nephew, BSN medical, 3M, Coloplast, Urgo, Medline Industries and B. Braun Melsungen.
A WCL can be made up of either woven or non-woven material. They can be directly applied to the wound. WCLs are perforated/permeable and allow exudates to pass through secondary dressings. Benefits of contact layers are that they are specifically designed to stay on the wound bed for several days without disrupting the growth of new tissue and to protect the wound bed during dressing changes. This effectively reduces trauma and pain during the dressing changes and promotes healing process. Antimicrobial WCL and Non-Antimicrobial WCL are tracked under this segment. Antimicrobial WCLs are types of WCLs which have an antiseptic agent incorporated to reduce the risk of bacterial growth and other microbes, such as fungi and viruses, on the wound and surrounding skin. Non-Antimicrobial WCLs are contact layers with no antiseptic agent coated on them.
The value of the wound contact layers devices market within the UK was expected to be over $10m in 2023.
