McKesson Hydrogel Gauze Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

McKesson Hydrogel Gauze Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

The McKesson Hydrogel Gauze Dressing is a sterile, hydrogel-impregnated gauze designed to serve as the primary contact layer over a wound. It's ideal for caregivers, clinicians, and individuals managing wounds with light or no drainage (exudate), where maintaining moisture is key to comfortable, effective healing. The hydrogel formulation gently covers the wound bed while keeping the gauze soft and pliable.

In everyday use, this dressing works by delivering and maintaining moisture at the wound site, creating a supportive healing environment. The soft gauze conforms to the wound bed and stays moist, helping to protect the injury and keep it clean. By keeping the area hydrated, the dressing also helps facilitate autolytic debridement, allowing the body to naturally break down and remove nonviable tissue. For added protection, you can shield the surrounding skin with a barrier film or ointment around the outer edge.

This 4 x 4 inch hydrogel gauze dressing is sterile and is available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing, a box of 10, and a case of 40, so you can stock up to match your care routine. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible. Please select your preferred quantity option below.
