DermaRite Oil Emulsion Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 8 Inch

Dermarite DermaRite Oil Emulsion Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 8 Inch

The Dermarite DermaRite Oil Emulsion Impregnated Dressing is a nonadherent gauze wound dressing designed for clinicians, caregivers, and anyone managing delicate or sensitive wounds at home. Measuring 3 x 8 inches, this fine mesh gauze is infused with a proprietary white petrolatum oil blend that keeps the dressing from sticking to the wound bed, making it an ideal choice for wounds that need gentle, comfortable coverage.

As a primary layer, the oil emulsion coating allows exudate to flow smoothly through the mesh while preventing the dressing from adhering to healing tissue. This means less trauma and far less discomfort at every dressing change, protecting new, fragile skin as it forms. The soft mesh conforms to all body contours for a snug, secure fit that supports optimal healing and keeps patients comfortable throughout wear.

This dressing is well suited for a wide range of wound types, including donor sites, lacerations, burns, abrasions, and skin graft sites, and works best on low to nonexudating wounds. It is available in a Single unit or a convenient Box of 24, and is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
