Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 6 x 36 Inch

Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 6 x 36 Inch

The Cardinal Health Vaseline Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a sterile, nonadherent wound dressing designed to protect and soothe a wide range of wounds. Made from fine mesh gauze saturated with petrolatum (Vaseline), it's ideal for patients and caregivers managing lacerations, abrasions, skin grafts, donor sites, burns, and other tender or draining wounds where a gentle, non-stick contact layer is needed.

The petrolatum impregnant keeps the dressing moist, nontoxic, nonsensitizing, and nonirritating, helping to maintain an optimal healing environment while shielding the wound bed from friction and contamination. Because it is nonadherent, the dressing lifts away cleanly at changes without disrupting delicate new tissue or causing unnecessary pain. Its flexible mesh clings and conforms to all body contours, so it stays comfortably in place over joints, curves, and hard-to-dress areas.

This dressing measures 6 x 36 inches, making it especially useful for larger wounds or areas that require extensive coverage. It arrives sterile in a convenient peelable foil pack for easy, aseptic application. Choose from a single dressing, a box of 12, or a case of 72 to match your needs, and this item may be FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below.
