DermaRite Oil Emulsion Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 3 Inch

Dermarite DermaRite Oil Emulsion Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 3 Inch

The Dermarite DermaRite Oil Emulsion Impregnated Dressing is a nonadherent wound dressing designed for gentle, comfortable healing across a wide range of wounds. Built on a soft gauze mesh infused with a proprietary white petrolatum oil blend, it's ideal for patients and caregivers managing donor sites, lacerations, burns, abrasions, and skin graft sites. This 3 x 3 inch dressing serves as a primary contact layer that keeps the wound bed moist while protecting delicate healing tissue.

The oil emulsion coating prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, allowing exudate to flow smoothly through the mesh and away from the surface. This nonadherent design means less pain and trauma during dressing changes, an important benefit for sensitive or fragile skin. The conforming gauze mesh molds to all body contours for a snug, comfortable fit that supports an optimal healing environment.

This dressing is available in multiple options, including a Single unit and a convenient Box of 50 for ongoing wound care needs. It works best as a primary layer for low to non-exudating wounds and can be paired with a secondary cover dressing to secure it in place. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible.
