A porous dressing is a type of wound covering that allows air and moisture to pass through. It helps to maintain a moist healing environment and prevents excessive moisture buildup while allowing for breathability and comfort. Porous dressings can be beneficial for wounds that require a balance of moisture and protection.
Contact layers serve as a barrier between the wound and the outer dressing, helping to prevent the dressing from sticking to the wound bed. They are designed to be non-adherent, allowing for easier and less painful removal during dressing changes. Contact layers also help to maintain a moist wound environment that promotes healing.

You can make your cornbread dressing more moist by adding more broth to the recipe. When you pour the dressing into the baking pan, if you have a little broth standing on top, it should turn out moist. Another way is, when you add the broth to the dressing mixture, stir it well, and let it sit for a little while to allow the cornbread to absorb the moisture. Then add more broth. I have also checked the dressing during baking, and if it seems to be getting dry, I drizzle broth over the top and put it back in the oven. The broth you add will absorb into the dressing.
