Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 9 Inch

Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 9 Inch

The Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a fine-mesh gauze saturated with white petrolatum, designed to protect and soothe a wide range of wounds. Measuring 3 x 9 inches (7.6 x 22.9 cm), it's ideal for caregivers, clinicians, and patients managing lacerations, abrasions, skin grafts, donor sites, burns, and other draining or delicate wounds that benefit from a moist, non-stick barrier.

The petrolatum impregnant remains moist against the wound bed, helping to keep tissue hydrated while allowing exudate to pass through into a secondary dressing. Because it is nonadhesive, the dressing lifts away cleanly at dressing changes without disturbing new tissue, reducing trauma and discomfort. Its soft, open weave clings and conforms to all body contours, making it easy to apply to awkward or curved areas of the body.

This petrolatum dressing is nontoxic, nonsensitizing, and nonirritating, and each dressing comes in a convenient peelable foil pack for easy, sterile-friendly opening. It is available in multiple purchase quantities—from a single dressing up to a case of 200—so you can order the right amount for occasional home use or ongoing clinical supply. Most wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity option below to add it to your cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a petrolatum impregnated dressing used for?
A: It provides a moist, non-stick protective layer over wounds such as abrasions, lacerations, skin graft and donor sites, and minor burns, helping shield the area while allowing drainage to pass into an outer dressing.

Q: Will this dressing stick to my wound?
A: No. The dressing is nonadhesive, and the moist petrolatum helps it release cleanly at dressing changes to minimize trauma to healing tissue.

Q: What size is this dressing?
A: Each dressing measures 3 x 9 inches (7.6 x 22.9 cm). You can choose from several quantity options, including a single dressing, boxes, and cases.

Q: Do I need a second dressing on top?
A: Yes. Because petrolatum gauze allows exudate to pass through, it's typically covered with a secondary absorbent dressing and secured per your provider's instructions.

Q: How is each dressing packaged?
A: Every dressing is individually enclosed in a peelable foil pack for clean, convenient opening.
