Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 36 Inch

Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 36 Inch

The Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a nonadhesive wound contact layer designed for clinicians, caregivers, and anyone managing wounds at home. Each fine-mesh gauze strip is saturated with white petrolatum to keep the wound bed moist, making it ideal for skin grafts, donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, minor burns, and other clean wounds that benefit from a protective, non-stick covering.

Because the dressing is nonadhesive, it won't stick to the wound bed, so dressing changes are more comfortable and less likely to disturb newly forming tissue. The petrolatum impregnant remains moist to support a healthy healing environment, while the flexible gauze clings and conforms to all body contours—including fingers, joints, and other hard-to-wrap areas. It is designed to be nontoxic, nonsensitizing, and nonirritating for everyday wound management.

This dressing measures 3 inches by 1 yard (3 x 36 inch) and comes in peelable foil packs for easy, hygienic opening. Choose from multiple purchase options below—buy a Single pack, a Box of 12, or a Case of 72 to match your needs. Wound care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible.
