DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 18 Inch

Dermarite DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing, 3 x 18 Inch

The Dermarite DermaRite Petrolatum Impregnated Dressing is a nonadherent wound dressing saturated with petrolatum to protect delicate tissue and support healing. Measuring 3 x 18 inches (7.5 x 45 cm), it's ideal for caregivers, clinicians, and anyone managing minor cuts, abrasions, skin grafts, donor sites, lacerations, and other wounds that benefit from a gentle, protective covering.

The petrolatum coating helps maintain a moist wound environment, which supports faster, more comfortable healing while keeping the dressing from sticking to the wound bed. Because it lifts away without tugging at newly formed tissue, dressing changes are less painful and less disruptive to the healing process. Its soft, flexible construction conforms easily to body contours, so it stays put on hard-to-dress areas like fingers, elbows, and joints for reliable, comfortable wear.

Each dressing is individually sterilized for safe, effective use, and its versatile design suits a wide range of wound types and sizes. This product is available in a Single unit or a convenient Box of 12. This item is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a petrolatum impregnated dressing used for?
A: It's a nonadherent contact layer placed directly on a wound to keep it moist, protect new tissue, and prevent the dressing from sticking, making it suitable for minor cuts, abrasions, skin grafts, and donor sites.

Q: Will this dressing stick to my wound?
A: No. The petrolatum coating makes it nonadherent, so it releases gently at dressing changes and helps minimize pain and disruption to the healing wound bed.

Q: Is the Dermarite DermaRite dressing sterile?
A: Yes, each dressing is individually sterilized for safety and reliability, so it's ready to use straight from the package.

Q: What sizes and quantities are available?
A: This 3 x 18 inch dressing is offered as a Single unit or a Box of 12. Choose the option that fits your needs from the selector above.

Q: Do I need a secondary dressing?
A: In most cases, yes. This is a contact layer, so you'll typically cover it with a secondary dressing such as gauze or a bandage to hold it in place and absorb drainage.
