Dermarite DermaRite Oil Emulsion Wound Dressing, 3 x 16 Inch

The Dermarite DermaRite Oil Emulsion Wound Dressing is a nonadherent, impregnated gauze dressing designed for clinicians, caregivers, and patients managing delicate or sensitive wounds. Each 3 x 16 inch dressing features a soft gauze mesh infused with a proprietary white petrolatum oil blend, making it an excellent primary layer for wounds that need gentle protection and moisture support during healing.

This dressing works by keeping the wound bed moist while allowing exudate to flow freely through the mesh, so it won't stick to the wound. The result is less trauma and discomfort during dressing changes and a soothing environment that supports the natural healing process. Its conforming design hugs body contours for a snug, comfortable fit, and its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of wound types including donor sites, lacerations, burns, abrasions, and skin graft sites.

Ideal as a primary dressing for low to nonexudating wounds, this Dermarite DermaRite dressing is sold in a convenient box of 36 in the 3 x 16 inch size. It typically qualifies for FSA/HSA reimbursement as a wound care supply. Add it to your cart below to keep this trusted dressing on hand for your wound care needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is an oil emulsion wound dressing?
A: It is a soft gauze mesh impregnated with a petrolatum-based oil blend that keeps the wound moist, prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound bed, and allows exudate to pass through.

A: It is well suited for donor sites, skin graft sites, lacerations, burns, abrasions, and other low to nonexudating wounds that benefit from a gentle, nonadherent primary layer.
