McKesson Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, 3/4 x 18 Inch

McKesson Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, 3/4 x 18 Inch

The McKesson Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing is a highly absorbent dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Measuring 3/4 x 18 inches, this rope-style dressing is ideal for packing deep wounds, cavities, sinus tracts, and tunneling areas where standard flat dressings can't reach. It's a smart choice for caregivers, clinicians, and individuals managing chronic or surgical wounds at home.

As the dressing contacts wound fluid, its gelling fibers transform into a soft, cohesive gel that locks in excess exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment. This supports the body's natural healing process, helps promote faster healing, and reduces the risk of maceration to the surrounding skin. Its excellent wet and dry strength allows the dressing to be removed cleanly and in one piece, minimizing trauma and residue at dressing changes.

This McKesson dressing measures 3/4 x 18 inches and is available in multiple purchasing options: a Single dressing, a Box of 5, or a Case of 50 to suit both occasional needs and higher-volume use. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible—check your plan for details. Simply select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.

A: It's designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds, including deep or cavity wounds, sinus tracts, and tunneling areas where a rope-style dressing can be gently packed.
