Wound contact layer (WCL) dressings are intended to protect tissue during the healing process. A randomised controlled trial was undertaken to compare 2 such dressings. Outpatients with acute wounds were randomly allocated to treatment with either a soft silicone-coated WCL (intervention group, n = 59) or a lipidocolloid-impregnated WCL (control group, n = 62). At the first dressing removal (day 3), 89.8% of patients in the intervention group experienced non-painful dressing removal (defined as a pain rating <30 mm on a 100 mm visual analogue scale), compared with 73.6% of patients in the control group (P = .017) (per protocol population). At day 21, wounds were considered as healed in 66.1% of patients in the intervention group compared with 43.5% in the control group (P = .012) (intention-to-treat population). Both dressings were well tolerated and rated highly in terms of in-use characteristics, although the soft silicone-coated WCL was rated significantly higher than the lipidocolloid-impregnated WCL in terms of its ability to remain in place (P= .016). The results indicate that the soft silicone-coated WCL is suitable for the management of acute wounds as it can minimise dressing-associated pain and support healing.
