McKesson Zinc Oxide / Calamine Unna Boot, 4 Inch x 10 Yard

McKesson Zinc Oxide / Calamine Unna Boot, 4 Inch x 10 Yard

The McKesson Zinc Oxide / Calamine Unna Boot is a medicated, nonraveling gauze bandage designed for the treatment of open wounds, leg ulcers, and venous stasis ulcers. Evenly soaked with a soothing, nonhardening paste of zinc oxide and calamine, this dressing is ideal for patients and clinicians managing lower-leg wounds that benefit from gentle, continuous compression therapy.

As the bandage is wrapped around the foot or leg, it conforms easily to the contours of the limb and forms a semi-rigid, supportive layer. The compression combined with the zinc oxide paste helps improve blood flow, reduce swelling (edema), and create a moist environment that supports the natural healing of chronic wounds. Because the gauze is nonraveling, it applies smoothly and stays neatly in place throughout wear, while the calamine helps soothe irritated surrounding skin.

This Unna boot measures 4 inches wide and is available in multiple options, including a single roll or a convenient Case of 12 for facilities and frequent users. Select the option that best fits your needs from the choices below. Many wound-care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible, so check with your plan administrator to confirm coverage.
