McKesson Iodoform Wound Packing Strip, 0.5 Inch x 5 Yard

The McKesson Iodoform Wound Packing Strip is a medicated gauze packing strip used to gently fill and manage deep or draining wounds, sinus tracts, and abscess cavities. Treated with iodoform, this packing strip is a trusted choice for clinicians and caregivers who need a reliable wound filler that supports a clean wound environment while helping to keep the wound bed open for healing.

Made of 100% cotton, ravel-resistant gauze, the strip is designed to resist linting or fraying as it's placed into the wound, helping to reduce loose fibers left behind in the tissue. The strip measures 0.5 inch wide by 5 yards long, giving you plenty of length to trim to the exact amount needed for each dressing change. Its narrow width makes it ideal for packing tunneling wounds and hard-to-reach cavities where standard flat dressings can't reach.

Each strip comes in easy-dispensing packaging that facilitates caregiver convenience and supports secure storage and extended shelf life. The gauze is sterile until opened, so you can be confident in a clean product for every application. This item is available as a Single unit or as a Case of 12—simply select your preferred option below. Many home wound-care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible; check your plan for details.
