Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 1 x 8 Inch

Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 1 x 8 Inch

The Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a sterile, nonadherent wound dressing made from fine mesh, absorbent gauze impregnated with white petrolatum. It's designed for clinicians, caregivers, and anyone managing minor wounds, skin grafts, lacerations, abrasions, or other injuries where a gentle, non-stick contact layer is needed to protect delicate tissue and support healing.

Because the gauze is saturated with white petrolatum, this dressing helps maintain a moist wound environment while resisting adherence to the wound bed. That means dressing changes are more comfortable and less likely to disrupt newly formed tissue. The dressing clings and conforms to all body contours, making it easy to apply over fingers, joints, and other hard-to-wrap areas, and the petrolatum impregnant remains moist, nontoxic, nonsensitizing, and nonirritating for gentle everyday care.

This dressing measures 1 x 8 inches and is sterile, ready for immediate use. It's available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing, a box of 50, and a case of 200, so you can stock the quantity that fits your needs. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
