Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 1 x 36 Inch

Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 1 x 36 Inch

The Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a sterile, nonadherent gauze dressing saturated with soothing petrolatum, designed for anyone managing minor wounds, abrasions, skin grafts, tunneling or draining wounds, and other sites where a gentle, non-sticking cover is needed. Measuring a convenient 1 inch by 36 inches (1 yard), this strip format is ideal for packing narrow wounds, wrapping fingers and toes, or trimming to fit hard-to-dress areas.

Because the dressing is impregnated with petrolatum, it stays moist against the wound bed to help maintain a protective, healing-friendly environment while preventing the gauze from adhering to delicate healing tissue. It clings and conforms to all body contours, so it seats comfortably over curves and creases, and its nonadherent surface allows for easier, less painful dressing changes. The petrolatum impregnant is nontoxic, nonsensitizing, and nonirritating, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Each dressing arrives in a peelable foil pack that keeps it sterile until the moment you need it and makes single-hand opening simple. This product is available in multiple purchase options—a Single dressing, a Box of 12, or a Case of 72—so you can stock the right quantity for occasional use or ongoing wound care. Many wound care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible; check with your plan administrator. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
