DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 1 x 8 Inch

DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 1 x 8 Inch

The DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a nonadherent wound contact layer designed to protect delicate wound beds while supporting the body's natural healing process. Saturated with soothing petrolatum, this dressing is ideal for anyone managing minor cuts, abrasions, skin tears, lacerations, donor sites, or post-surgical wounds who wants gentle, comfortable coverage that won't stick to healing tissue.

By maintaining a moist wound environment, the petrolatum-impregnated mesh helps accelerate healing while preventing the dressing from adhering to the wound surface. That means dressing changes are far more comfortable, with less disruption to newly formed tissue and reduced trauma at each removal. The soft, flexible construction conforms effortlessly to body contours, so it stays put on hard-to-dress areas like fingers, joints, and other curved surfaces for reliable, day-to-day wear.

Each dressing is individually sterilized for safe, dependable use, and its versatile design suits a wide range of wound types. This 1 x 8 inch dressing is available in a Single unit or a convenient Box of 50, and many home wound-care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible.
